Iran-Israel War: How the Middle East Conflict Started

The vast and limitless potential of Iran’s capacity to strike Israel would soon become clear. Any previous attacks on the old enemy had merely been “minor demonstrations” before Tehran’s war machine swung into full gear. READ MORE: https://www.thetimes.com/world/middle... That, at least, is what Hossein Salami, the architect of Iran’s missile programme, would have had us believe before the tumultuous events of the past five days. Yet the regime’s response to Israel’s operation, Rising Lion, has underscored the limitations of Tehran’s missile programme. Many of its missile sites were destroyed before Iran even fired a shot in response. What was left has so far been used with devastating effect, levelling apartment blocks and killing at least 24 people over three days in a series of strikes that have pierced Israel’s much-vaunted protective shield, the Iron Dome defence system. Iran, however, cannot maintain the intensity of these attacks which, in turn, have little to no impact on Israel’s ability to strike back at will. Israel estimates Tehran has launched about 300 missiles so far, while an undisclosed but probably significant number were destroyed in air strikes and sabotage operations during the first few hours of the war. Tehran has been left with little way to defend its missile sites from airstrikes and the production of new weapons will be difficult as the stockpile dwindles by the day.
