Iran has so far fired 350-400 BM at Israel. One can assume they have lost at least 250 on ground, when their launch areas and missiles bases were targeted. They should have around 2000-2500 BM left now.

You think they can hide in the darkness. Israel and US in particular has scores of satellites with EO/IR, SAR and hyperspectral sensors to see and track movements during night at same level as day.I think Iran probably has more than 3K. Also, they have backup launchers stored in secure locations. There is a reason why they carry out their strikes at night. They do their preparation in the darkness of the night and then launch the attacks.
Iranian regime has already weakened quite a bit, nobody even a couple years back expected Hamas and Hezbollah to be mute spectators in Iran-Israel war.Israel's objective is regime change. Nuclear thing is just a fig-leaf.
The question is : how will US help Israel accomplish this goal? We all know, it will start with air strikes. How will it end?
Do you think, US can affect the regime change by aerial campaign only? If so, what platforms will be used? B2s from Diego Garcia? Or, will US bring in equipment to Israel and use Israel as a launchpad? Have any of the Arab countries agreed to let US use their military bases as launchpads? Will US bring an aircraft carrier to Persian Gulf?
U.S. can easily target Iran using military bases in Pakistan.Israel's objective is regime change. Nuclear thing is just a fig-leaf.

In general and particularly in India-Pakistan & India-China context, taking damage is expected and it is part of the calculus.The ongoing Israel-Iran conflict offers important strategic lessons for India—despite Israel’s technological edge, Iran has managed to infli damage. India must take all necessary measures to prevent such vulnerabilities in any future conflict with Pakistan. De-nuclearizing Pakistan remains essential for achieving lasting peace and stability in South Asia.
India must significantly bolster its local intelligence network within Pakistan, enhance satellite-based surveillance, and further strengthen its air defense systems. In the event of a war, India would need to rapidly neutralize all missile depots and airbases across Pakistan
There would be damages on your side always, israel probably has it in mind, in case of a massive all out strike against pakistan they would also use their green painted Chinese stuff to probably non military area, in that case we must be ready to accept loses and not start whiningThe ongoing Israel-Iran conflict offers important strategic lessons for India—despite Israel’s technological edge, Iran has managed to inflict damage.

Jokes apart
Things were going to escalate after G7 anyway...
I wish China involves in this conflict in some capacity, at least to protect Iran for their 400 billion dollar future investment. Also, would be nice to have China supporting Iran out in the open like Americans aiding Ukrain.
Iran and Israel grinding each other with Chinese and American help will give us some breathing space over next few years.

I don't think when Israel started all this, they expected no damage or losses. Almost 1200 Israelis were killed during October 23rd attack.
Similarly, when India takes action on Pakistan there is never an expectation that there will be no losses or damage. Actually to the contrary, it is India's capacity to accept damage, losses, expend ammunition and at the same time take a punishing toll on Pakistan (which far outstrips it's sustainment capacity) that gives it the war winning edge. If India just goes piece meal or only open a few sectors instead of the whole front then India is not playing to its advantage.
I don’t think it’s impossible to minimize casualties to zero. Constructing bunkers for every civilian, strengthening the air defense system, and developing the offensive capability to destroy Pakistani missile depots and airbases can make this goal achievable. While accidents can still happen, that doesn’t mean a fail-proof system cannot be built.There would be damages on your side always, israel probably has it in mind, in case of a massive all out strike against pakistan they would also use their green painted Chinese stuff to probably non military area, in that case we must be ready to accept loses and not start whining
