Thousands of missiles and interceptors launched by the US - and the nuclear sites in the crosshairs when the operation resumes
The Pentagon announced that the campaign in Iran is on hold, after Trump withdrew from a plan for extensive bombings. The US launched over 1,200 Patriot interceptors and more than 1,000 Tomahawk missiles, and replenishing stocks could take four years. Vice President Vance expressed reservations about expanding the campaign. The operation may resume, with a focus on nuclear sites: Mount Makosh, Talegan 2, Isfahan, Fordow, and Natanz.
The Pentagon said the campaign in Iran is currently on "hold," after US President Donald Trump withdrew from his plan to authorize extensive bombings of military targets, energy facilities, and nuclear sites. According to a CNN report, Vice President JD Vance was among those who expressed reservations about expanding the campaign. The US has launched more than 1,200 Patriot interceptors and more than 1,000 Tomahawk missiles, and replenishing stocks could take nearly four years. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, warned that resuming widespread fighting could dangerously deplete the number of available interceptors. Meanwhile, talks between Oman and Iran on opening the Strait of Hormuz are progressing positively, and the bombings were deliberately halted so as not to disrupt the contacts. However, the possibility of resuming strikes remains, and the article reviews the nuclear sites that could be in the crosshairs: Mount Makosh, Talegan 2, Isfahan, Fordow, and Natanz.
