Israeli analyst: Iran fighting 'like a modern superpower' against US aggression
An Israeli writer and political analyst based in the UK has described Iran's retaliatory strikes against the United States as historically unprecedented, saying Washington is confronting "a real army" for the first time and acknowledging the Islamic Republic's military precision and operational effectiveness.
In a post published on his X account on Saturday, Alon Mizrahi noted that no military force in history had inflicted such precise and effective strikes against American forces.
"No military in history has hit US forces with the efficiency and precision of Iran’s armed forces," he wrote.
Mizrahi went on to say that the US had little experience confronting a conventional military power capable of sustained operations.
"Americans don't even know what it means to take on a proper military, and they are being destroyed," he said.

The analyst also hailed Iran's military strategy, describing it as combining advanced military capabilities with ideological commitment.
"Iran fights like a modern superpower with the spirit of a holy, native Islamic military," he said, adding that “they are still using only a small part of their capabilities.”
Mizrahi further described the war as one of the most significant military confrontations in modern history, saying, "We are witnessing the grandest and most epic battle since the Red Army vanquished the Nazis in World War II.”
The remarks come amid continued exchanges of strikes between Iran and the United States, with tensions remaining high across the region.
Over the past few days, the US military has conducted waves of deadly strikes on Iran and reinstated a blockade of Iranian ports in flagrant violation of a war-terminating deal.
In response, Iranian armed forces have launched heavy reprisal attacks against strategic American targets in several US-allied countries in the region, declaring the Strait of Hormuz closed “until further notice” and at least until “the end of US interference in the region.”
The United States has perpetrated numerous violations against Iranian territory since April 7, when US President Donald Trump announced a unilateral ceasefire in the latest round of American-Israeli aggression targeting the Islamic Republic.
The violations continued even after Washington and Tehran signed a Pakistan-mediated memorandum of understanding last month, whose first clause clearly mandates cessation of aggression on all fronts.
