The response by israel to True Promise Two was rather pathetic which is why True Promise Three never happened.

I disagree. While the Israeli response wasn't as visually impactful as Operation True Promise II, it paved the way for the current Israeli attack that's taking place, taking out the advanced radars for air defence systems. HAWK, S-300, etc.

This was only ever stated by isisrael. There was little to no evidence that they hit more than one radar dish.

Furthermore if israel felt like Iran was vulnerable to attack there is no reason israel would have stopped at one bombing run. If Iran felt it had lost its defensive capabilities that would be an existential threat and they would have had no choice to make decisive strikes.
