The whole world knows that Iran wants to become a nuclear power country and for this it has been trying to make nuclear weapons for many years but Israel considers it a threat due to which Israel had attacked Iran earlier also and even now Israel has started an operation by the name of Operation Rising Line to avoid this threat in which Israel has attacked many nuclear sites and military installations of Iran.
Israel has carried out this attack with the help of about 200 fighter jets. In this attack by Israel, many army commanders of Iran, its nuclear scientists and commanders of its revolutionary guard have been assassinated.
In retaliation, Iran has also retaliated under Operation True Promise 3 in which Iran has attacked many drones and missiles on Israel but as you know that Israel has many defense systems like Iron Dome and David’s sling due to which Israel has stopped many attacks of Iran.
Actually the thing is that America is a big supporter of Israel. Israel has carried out this operation through air and Israel is also preparing at the ground level and Israel is being given naval protection by America.
Now see, it is very clear that Russia is a big supporter of Iran. Even though the fight is going on between Israel and Iran, indirectly the fight is going on between Russia and America. So today in this article we will know who is more powerful in the military of Israel and Iran.
