Daylight Israeli strikes are interpreted as evidence that Iranian air defences have ceased to pose a serious threat to the aircraft involved. One explanation credits stealth and suppression of enemy air defences against a network designed around fourth-generation aircraft; other suggestions concern Iranian organization, limited fighter numbers, and intelligence support. These remain interpretations of the available reports at the time of the June 2025 recording. An F-15 can carry a large bomb load, but claims that it can ignore defences are immediately challenged with examples such as Patriot and S-400. The alternative explanation is that stealth aircraft have already reduced the threat before conventional aircraft operate more freely.

Daylight strikes and the suppression of Iranian air defences
The June 2025 interpretation connects daylight Israeli sorties with degraded Iranian defences, while distinguishing stealth attack from later use of conventional strike aircraft.
