An Israeli pilot who participated in bombing missions over Iranian nuclear and strategic sites has described Tehran as “a beautiful city from the sky.” In an interview with The Jerusalem Post, the anonymous pilot reflected on the intense operations: “The past few days felt like an entire year—filled with ups and downs, joy, and uncertainty.” He revealed that Israeli forces had long prepared for action against Iran, hoping it would never be necessary. Despite the dangers, including potential missile strikes near his home, he kept the mission confidential even from close family and friends.
