<\/a><\/p>\nJennifer Kavanagh @ Responsible Statecraft<\/em>: Iran wipes out US-Israeli radars & sensors, changing course of war<\/a><\/h2>\nThis might be an answer to the biggest question today: why does the airspace suddenly seems penetrable, even against a wounded Tehran military?<\/em><\/p>\nA month into the U.S. military campaign against Iran, Israel\u2019s vaunted air defense system is showing its limits. Just in the past 10 days, major cities<\/a> including Tel Aviv, Dimona, and Arad sustained significant damage when Iranian missiles successfully evaded Israel\u2019s network of interceptors.<\/p>\nThe most obvious explanation for the apparent failures is that depletion of Israel\u2019s interceptor stockpiles is forcing the Israel Defense Forces to ration munitions or prioritize targets. But the faults in Israel\u2019s air defenses almost certainly have deeper roots. After all, even if forced to defend only the most important locations, Israel would almost certainly place Dimona<\/a> \u2014 a city located near several of Israel\u2019s key nuclear facilities \u2014 at the top of the list.<\/p>\nThe more worrisome reality is that gaps in Israel\u2019s air defenses may be detection (rather than interception) failures resulting from damage to the radars and sensors that underlie the integrated air defense network shared by the United States, Israel, and Gulf partners. If true, the implications would be dire. Operating without the \u201ceyes\u201d that the American military relies on to identify and mitigate threats, U.S. forces and assets would be much more vulnerable than previously understood.

\nMore shocking in this statement, though, is that Trump appears to be trying to force his will on the Iranians by threatening to commit war crimes. International law recognizes attacks on civilian infrastructure\u2014like those Russian president Vladimir Putin has been carrying out on Ukraine for years\u2014as war crimes. The Geneva Convention specifically prohibits attacks on drinking water, so Trump\u2019s threat to attack the desalination plants that make seawater drinkable is, as Shashank Joshi of The Economist<\/em> notes, not only stupid because Iran could do the same to other Gulf states, but \u201calso, quite obviously,…very illegal.\u201d<\/p>\nJoshi notes that \u201c[Arizona Democratic senator] Mark Kelly et al were right to warn of illegal orders,\u201d and Charles A. Ray of The Steady State<\/em> explains that not just Trump but anyone carrying out these orders would be implicated in potential criminality. Trump\u2019s threat comes the day after Christiaan Triebert and John Ismay of the New York Times<\/em> reported that on the first day of attacks, U.S. forces hit not just the girls\u2019 school we knew about, but also, in a different city, a sports hall used by civilians and a nearby elementary school, killing at least 21 people.

\nWhich is why now is the time to scroll back up to the top of this article, and look at the graph there, courtesy of Nick Fulghum at Ember. It shows California\u2019s electric grid yesterday. The huge yellow blob in the middle represents solar generation, the absolutely dominant source of supply from about 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. when it drops very quickly to zero. This is a phenomenon called sunset, which used to be the main argument against solar power.<\/p>\nBut now look at the purple blob to its right\u2014that\u2019s battery storage coming online as the sun goes down. Those batteries spent the afternoon soaking up sunshine\u2014cheap cheap sunshine\u2014and now they\u2019re distributing it back to the grid. As Californians get home from work, turn on lights, cook dinner, start charging their EVs, and run their frozen margarita machines (I may have an idealized idea of California life), batteries are providing most of the power, outstripping imported power (much of which is renewable too), natural gas, and other sources like nuclear. (You\u2019ll notice wind picking up too, as the onshore breezes start to blow from the Pacific).<\/p>\n
This is entirely different from how this graph would have looked even a year or two ago.
