The missiles that breached American defenses, and the Iranian arsenal that wasn't destroyed

Despite Trump's claims of destroying 92% of Iran's missile array, Iran has hit nine American bases in the last two weeks, launched over 60 missiles at Jordan, and proven its fire and command systems are still active. Brig. Gen. (res.) Zvika Haimovich estimates the Iranians recovered faster than expected, and some missiles were extracted from underground 'missile cities.' The US Air Force is urgently seeking a new mobile defense system for its bases.

Despite US President Donald Trump's claims that 92% of Iran's missile array was destroyed, Iran has proven in the last two weeks that it still holds a significant arsenal. Nine American bases were hit, four soldiers were killed, and about a hundred were wounded. More than 60 ballistic missiles were fired at Jordan, mainly toward the Aqaba area and Al-Azraq base. Brig. Gen. (res.) Zvika Haimovich, former commander of the air defense array, explains that the scale of fire indicates high readiness, active command and control systems, and a fast recovery rate from the strikes. Some missiles were extracted from underground 'missile cities,' whose entrances were bombed but restored. The US Air Force is urgently seeking a new mobile defense system for its bases due to attrition in interceptor stockpiles. Haimovich estimates that in the next confrontation, Iran could launch 10-15 missiles daily, with broader involvement of the Houthis.
