Excellent piece. It helped me organize what I had previously heard in a coherent manner. I also learned that Hezbollah and Iran are a helluva lot more powerful than I realized. I almost have the impression Iran has applied a conventional military industrial complex approach with a symmetrical warfare strategy. Perhaps a topic for another piece?
In terms of writing, the content is clear, the length appropriate for the purpose of the piece, and it avoids the tangents à la NYT. I don’t mind at all that there are no original quotes as I don’t find it necessary to convey this type of information. What I need is accuracy and relative unbiasedness (I.e., I know this is biased in the US favour, but that’s OK as it’s clear), which this piece has.
Minor note as you are scaling operations: you might want to use Grammarly or similar before publishing to catch typos.
