Troubling reports on social media are increasingly suggesting that the public is not being told the truth about the extent of damages the state of Israel has sustained, and is sustaining, in its war with Iran. On Thursday 06/19/25, Col Wilkerson appeared on MSNBC’s All In w/Chris and all but confirmed these troubling reports. He told host Hayes that Prime Minister Netanyahu, and indeed the citizens of Israel, are stunned at how effective the Iranian missiles have been–essentially that they they underestimated their capabilities.
Long story short, it appears that initial indications suggest that Israel’s PM Netanyahu may have grossly underestimated Iranian military capabilities when he he recently launched a preemptive attack.
The Trump administration has recently showed signs of an eagerness to join Israel in its bombardment of Iran. It will be interesting to see how they process these new reports that Israel is actually suffering more than PM Netanyahu is publicly admitting.
