[2/3]
While Jordan, Egypt, Iraq, and Lebanon all closed their air space, Jordan went much farther.  Jordan used its own missile defenses to shoot down drones, and then Jordan opened its air space to allow Israeli, US and UK fighter jets into Jordan, to shoot down Iranian Drones and missiles.   So Jordan took sides with Israel against Iran.  That's a big deal.  A game-changer for relations in the Middle East.

Interestingly, the use of Drones by Iran also provided other real-life intelligence info.   The Drones all got shot down.  The cruise missiles all got shot down.  The Ballistic missiles *MOSTLY* got shot down, but seven of them got through!

As a result, Iran now knows how many drones can be successfully engaged by all the countries in the region, acting collectively.  Thus, Iran knows how many additional drones must be fired to overcome those defenses.

In addition, Iran now also knows it was the US and UK - NOT ISRAEL - whose fighter jets shot down most of the drones. So without US and UK support, Israel is quite vulnerable...  much more vulnerable than Israel would have anyone else know.

Similarly, Iran cruise missiles ALL got shot down, so Iran knows it must fire "x" more such missiles to have any hope at all of any getting through.

The ballistic missiles, however, were the big intelligence prize for Iran.  Out of the missiles fired, seven got through.

Now, Iran knows the precise number of ballistic missiles it must fire to saturate Israeli defenses, thereby getting FAR more through those defenses if any future battle is necessary.

Seeing seven ballistic missiles get through was a gigantic intelligence prize for Iran.  It also seriously dimmed the "awe" of Israeli military capabilities.   The Israelis are not "untouchable" as they previously had everyone believe.

Another way last night's attack changed the Middle East forever was the reality that someone *would* attack Israel directly. The whole "they wouldn't dare" crowd is likely laying on the floor, in a fetal position, quivering this morning that someone DID dare.

Another group of people, the "nothing is gonna happen" crowd, also got to eat crow last night.  The "it's a nothingburger" crowd found out their perceptions - for years - were wrong!
