BREAKING: Iran fired ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv overnight using cluster munitions. Process what that means. A conventional warhead hits one point. A cluster warhead releases dozens of submunitions, each weighing 2 to 5 kilograms of high-explosive fragmentation, scattering across a wide area after re-entry. One missile becomes dozens...

🇮🇷🇮🇱 An Iranian multi-warhead ballistic missile released its submunitions across multiple cities in the Tel Aviv area tonight A reminder these multi warhead systems and their submunitions are designed to overwhelm and saturate missile defence systems, scattering across central Israel with damage reported across several urban areas simultaneously. Western client media calls them cluster munitions. Iran calls them checkmate against A/D like Iron Dome. Either way, the irony is suffocating... this is the same country whose military has carpet-bombed southern Lebanon with tens of millions of actual cluster bomblets, condemned by the UN, documented meticulously by Human Rights Watch, killing and maiming Lebanese civilians for two decades now since 2006. Of course Israel also used cluster munitions in 1982.

Footage posted to social media shows what could be sub-munitions from an Iranian cluster bomb warhead crashing down in Israel this evening, amid a ballistic missile attack. Videos show some two dozen fragments streaking through the sky. It is not confirmed whether these are cluster bomb sub-munitions or other fragments from an intercepted missile. The IDF has previously confirmed that Iran has launched ballistic missiles carrying cluster bomb warheads at Israel. The warhead of such missiles, which Iran also fired at Israel in June 2025's war, opens up while descending and spreads around 20 smaller munitions with around 2.5 kilograms of explosives, in a radius of around 8km.

🚨 Iran just deployed cluster munitions over Tel Aviv. One missile. 80 submunitions. Scattered across a city. This cannot be intercepted. No air defense system on earth was built for this. Netanyahu spent 30 years engineering this moment. Three decades of lobbying, pressuring, and manipulating every US administration he could reach — waiting for one who would finally pull the trigger. Trump pulled it. And now the civilians Netanyahu claimed to be protecting are underneath 80 simultaneous warheads from a single launch. Trump said Iran’s missiles are gone this morning. Iran just proved otherwise tonight. Six Americans dead. No aftermath plan. A regime still standing. Cluster munitions over Tel Aviv. Netanyahu got his war. This is what 30 years of wanting it looks like.

🚨 BREAKING: Multiple Iranian missiles have struck Tel Aviv and other areas in central Israel. Videos show buildings sustaining heavy damage, and one missile reportedly landed near Ben Gurion Airport, which hosts U.S. aerial refueling tankers used in operations against Iran. Another missile appeared to carry a cluster-munition warhead, detonating midair and dispersing numerous submunitions. No interception attempts were visible in footage of that strike. ➤ Earlier today, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) published video showing the launch of Kheibar (Khorramshahr-4) ballistic missiles toward Israel. It is not immediately clear whether the missiles seen in the Tel Aviv strike footage were from that system. It was not immediately clear whether any settlers were injured or killed in the attacks.

Asmongold shows how easy it is to fool MAGA bots that the Iran war is going well. He believed a fake graph of Iranian missile launches. The numbers are made up and the source at the bottom is "IDF Spokesperson". The graph is three days old and predicted Iran would basically be out of missiles by today. The problem is, Iran has launched several waves of missiles TODAY ALONE and they've successfully targeted Israel multiple times along with several US bases. A US base is currently on fire! The building targeted housed a stockpile of patriot missiles which are in very short supply. Satellite imagery shows that over the course of thenl last week, Iran has destroyed a large portion of the radar, communications and air defense installations at most of the largest US bases in the region. None of this is known to Asmongold. He just sees a fake graph and says "these are the facts". The only thing aspect of this graph that's true is that Iran has reduced the total number of missiles and drones launched because the enemy interception rate has plummeted following the destruction of air defense systems and depletion of interceptors. Simply put, it takes fewer and fewer missiles and drones to strike targets, which allows Iran's stockpiles to last MUCH longer. This is very much a GOOD thing for Iran.

🇮🇷🇮🇱 Iranian ballistic missiles screaming across the sky over Tel Aviv and landing on their targets. Day 17. The city that was supposed to be untouchable with its Iron Sieve Dome and boomerang Arrow 3 mythology. The country with the most US-funded air defence architecture on the planet. And the missiles are still coming in. More than 55 confirmed Waves. The Fattah at Mach 13. The Emad at Mach 11. The interceptor stockpile that Semafor confirmed is critically depleted. The THAAD components pulled from South Korea. The Patriot PAC-2 stripped from Greece. All of it. And the missiles are still crossing and raining down on Tel Aviv turning it into an orange zombie apocalypse.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran is losing the war on volume and winning it on accuracy... The numbers tell a story nobody in Washington wants to hear. Iran's daily launch rate collapsed 90% from day one. But its hit rate jumped from 4% to 24% and keeps climbing. Fewer shots, more damage. The shift is deliberate. Tehran shifted from mass barrages of ballistic missiles, which Patriot batteries eat for breakfast, to cheap Shahed drones that slip under radar and cluster warheads that shatter into dozens of bomblets no interceptor can chase. The damage bill tells the rest: -Three F-15s downed by friendly fire. -An F-35 hit. -Twelve+ Reapers lost. -Five tankers damaged. -A billion-dollar radar destroyed. -The Ford carrier sidelined in Greece. Total cost: up to $2.9 billion in equipment alone. Source: WSJ, JPost

On the Oreshnik and the eternal question about the warhead There is a particular type of commentator who, after every Oreshnik strike, routinely asks the same question. Was there even a warhead in it this time? The question is meant to suggest that the weapon, without a classical explosive payload, is somehow fake or less dangerous. What it really reveals is that the person asking does not understand how the system works. A conventional ballistic missile carries explosives or a nuclear warhead. The destruction comes from the detonation at the target. The missile is essentially the delivery service. The Oreshnik works differently. It is an intermediate-range missile (range around 5000 kilometers) carrying multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRV). These reentry vehicles enter the atmosphere at roughly Mach 10 to Mach 12, with Russian sources claiming higher in some cases. That works out to 3 to 3.5 kilometers per second on terminal approach. This is where the physics comes in. Kinetic energy is calculated as E = 0.5 times mass times velocity squared. Velocity enters the equation as a square. A reentry vehicle of a few hundred kilograms, on impact alone, releases energy in the range of several tons of TNT equivalent. With multiple submunitions per missile, that adds up. A tungsten or steel core entering the ground at this speed produces temperatures of several thousand degrees through friction and compression shock. Bunkers and hardened installations are not destroyed by an explosion, they are destroyed by the sheer force and heat of the impact itself. The technical term is kinetic penetration. Now to the actual answer for the warhead-askers. Yes, the Oreshnik is nuclear-capable. This was part of the design from the start, not a retrofit, but a built-in configuration option. Russian officials have stated this openly. The carrier is there. The only question is what it carries. But that is exactly the point the warhead-asker skips over. The whole point of the Oreshnik is that even in its conventional configuration it achieves an effect that previously required nuclear weapons against hardened targets. To destroy an underground command bunker, historically you needed a small tactical nuclear weapon. Today a reentry vehicle at Mach 10 with a few hundred kilograms of mass is enough. No radioactive fallout, no crossing of the nuclear threshold, no political price attached to a nuclear use. In a strike on a major city, the nuclear configuration would, in this conflict, almost certainly not be deployed. Not because it does not exist, but because it is neither necessary nor politically tenable for that purpose. The conventional version is sufficient to send a message without crossing the threshold above which entirely different chains of escalation are set in motion. In short. The question "was there a warhead in it?" misses the point. The Oreshnik does not need a large warhead, because its velocity is the weapon. It can carry a nuclear warhead, at any time. It just does not do so in the current conflict, because it does not have to.

Iran is improving and beginning to use more accurate missiles. The Iranians destroyed an Arrow or David Sling launcher that had expended all its ammunition but was unable to intercept the Iranian missile. This indicates that Iran is now collecting intelligence on the positioning of Israeli air defense batteries and targeting them with the confidence of their missile superiority. Yesterday, I mentioned the low number of defensive missiles Israel has for both Arrow 2/3 and David Sling, leading me to believe that at the current rate, these systems would run out of ammunition in no more than 15 days. The production of David Sling missiles has been ongoing for the past seven years, with an estimated 100–200 missiles produced annually. The numbers of Arrow 2/3 interceptors are even lower—despite being older, their production is more expensive and slower. Concerned about this situation, Israel has requested support from the THAAD system and the Nimitz group to assist with interceptions. But this keep being a serious issue for Israel.

BREAKING: Iran built a subway system for ballistic missiles inside a granite mountain south of Yazd. Automated rails move warheads and transporter-erector-launchers between assembly halls, storage vaults, and three to ten blast-door exits carved into the mountainside at depths reaching 500 metres. A TEL rides the tracks to an exit, surfaces, fires, and retreats underground before the strike aircraft can respond. The mountain has been under construction for two decades. The IRGC did not build a bunker. It built a weapons factory with its own internal railway, buried deeper than any conventional bomb can reach. The United States and Israel have struck Yazd Imam Hussein on March 1st, March 6th and March 17th and even earlier today! Satellite imagery shows collapsed portals, cratered ventilation shafts, and destroyed surface infrastructure. The visible damage is real. The invisible infrastructure is intact. On March 20, a long-range ballistic missile launched from the Yazd complex, failed during boost phase, and crashed near Kohistan Park inside Yazd City itself. The launch failed. The fact that it happened at all is the proof. Three weeks of precision strikes on the portals did not stop the railway behind them from delivering a missile to a surviving exit. The engineering is simple in concept and devastating in practice. Each blast door is a separate exit point. When one is destroyed, the rail system reroutes to another. When that door is struck, it is backfilled with soil and concrete by the IRGC from inside, then re-excavated when the bombing pauses. CNN satellite analysis confirmed the rail layouts. Alma Research mapped the tunnel networks. The IDF acknowledged that approximately 60 percent of launch infrastructure has been destroyed. The US estimated 50 percent of capacity remains. That remaining 50 percent rides underground rails that no bomb in the American or Israeli arsenal can reach at 500 metres through granite. The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, the largest bunker-buster ever built, penetrates approximately 60 metres of reinforced concrete or roughly 40 metres of moderate rock. Granite is harder than moderate rock. Five hundred metres is more than twelve times the weapon’s maximum penetration depth. The gap between the bomb and the tunnel is not a margin of error. It is a physical impossibility. The mountain does not care how many sorties are flown above it. The railway does not care how many portals are sealed. The geology is the defence, and the geology has been there for 300 million years. This is why the war continues. Every missile that hits Arad, Dimona, or central Israel was assembled underground, moved on rails to an exit, and fired from a door that may have been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times since February 28. The persistence of Iranian missile fire despite three weeks of intensive strikes is not resilience. It is infrastructure. The IRGC did not prepare for this war by building rockets. It prepared by building railways inside mountains. The rockets are replaceable. The railways are permanent. And the granite that protects them was formed before mammals existed. The strait is 21 miles wide. The mountain is 500 metres deep. And the railway inside it is still delivering missiles to the surface.

BREAKING. Israel’s Defense Minister just announced strikes on Iran will increase significantly this week. He said it from an underground command centre in Tel Aviv, hours after a cluster munition from an Iranian ballistic missile hit a daycare in Rishon Lezion. Hours after the United States bombed Natanz for the fifth time in 16 years. Hours after Trump told reporters he is considering winding down. The war is escalating and de-escalating in the same sentence because the strategy requires both signals simultaneously. Four nations responded to the same morning. The responses tell you everything about where this war is heading. Israel said more. Defense Minister Katz, surrounded by military officials, said the intensity of IDF and US strikes against the Iranian terror regime will rise significantly this week. He said Israel is determined to decapitate commanders and thwart strategic capabilities until every security threat to Israel and US interests is removed. He said the IDF will not stop until all war objectives are achieved. Passover holiday camps were cancelled in 18 municipalities across central Israel after the cluster munition struck the daycare. The children were not inside. The camps will not open. India said peace. Prime Minister Modi called Iranian President Pezeshkian on Nowruz, the Persian new year that fell on the same day a bunker-buster fell on Natanz. Modi expressed hope that the festive season brings peace, stability and prosperity to West Asia. India imports 40 percent of its crude through the Strait of Hormuz. The call was not about peace. It was about oil. Seventy percent of American generic prescriptions originate from Indian pharmaceutical manufacturers who depend on that crude. When Modi calls Tehran on Nowruz, the pharmacies in Ohio are listening. Russia said loyalty. Putin sent a Nowruz message telling Iran that Moscow remains a loyal friend and reliable partner, wishing Iranians to overcome these severe trials with dignity. Russia provides Iran with coordinates of US warship positions. Ukraine provides Gulf states with drone countermeasure expertise. Two wars sharing the same drone, the same intelligence architecture, the same battlefield geometry reflected through different alliances. Putin’s loyalty is not sentiment. It is positioning. Every day the US burns ordnance over Iran is a day it does not restock Ukraine. Iran said danger. Tehran warned the United Kingdom that backing US-Israeli aggression through its bases is putting British lives at risk. This came hours after Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, the British territory 4,000 kilometres from Iranian soil that hosts 2,500 mostly American personnel. Neither missile hit. One failed mid-flight. An SM-3 was fired at the second. Britain subsequently authorised US bombers to use UK bases for Hormuz operations. The country that was targeted then gave permission. Iran responded by threatening the country that gave permission. Day 22. The death toll has crossed 1,300 in Iran, 1,000 in Lebanon, 15 in Israel, and 13 American service members. Five thousand Marines are heading to the Gulf aboard two amphibious ready groups. Natanz has been bombed five times. Kharg Island is being discussed as a seizure target. Dubai crude hit $166 a barrel. The IAEA director told NPR that enrichment capacities will probably still exist at the end of this conflict. And the defense minister of Israel, standing in a bunker beneath Tel Aviv while a daycare above him had a hole in its roof from a cluster munition, said the word that defines this week. Significantly. Full analysis:

BAPCO Energies confirmed on April 5 that a storage tank at its Sitra facility in Bahrain caught fire “as a result of a hostile Iranian drone attack.” The fire was extinguished. No injuries. Damage under assessment. That is the official statement, repeated verbatim across Bahrain News Agency, Gulf News, Al Arabiya, and Xinhua. It is clean, attributable, and consistent with the pattern of Iranian drone and missile strikes on Gulf energy infrastructure that has continued daily since February 28. Then the videos appeared. Footage circulating on social media, shared by Drop Site News and multiple Arabic-language accounts, appears to show two sequential impacts at the facility: one from the incoming drone, and a second moments later from what the accounts describe as a Patriot interceptor missile that failed to intercept the drone and instead struck the oil storage tanks directly. The videos have not been independently verified. The trajectory analysis has not been forensically confirmed. BAPCO’s statement does not mention air defence involvement. The Bahrain Defence Force reported 13 successful drone interceptions in the preceding 24 hours and made no acknowledgement of a misfire. This has happened before. On March 9, an explosion near BAPCO in Sitra injured dozens and was attributed to an Iranian drone. Reuters and the Middlebury Institute subsequently concluded with moderate-to-high confidence that a US-operated Patriot interceptor caused the blast. Drone fragments were absent at the impact site. The damage pattern matched a Patriot warhead detonating at low altitude after losing its target. Bahrain later acknowledged Patriot involvement without formally correcting the original attribution. The March 9 precedent is what makes the April 5 videos significant. Not because they prove the interceptor hit the tank. They do not prove that. But because they introduce a documented pattern: in saturated airspace where dozens of Iranian drones arrive simultaneously, Patriot systems operating at the edge of their engagement envelope against small, slow, low-altitude targets can produce outcomes where the defence causes the damage it was deployed to prevent. The drone is the threat. The interceptor is the response. And the oil tank does not distinguish between the two when the impact arrives. BAPCO operates a 405,000 barrel per day refinery at Sitra. It was struck by confirmed Iranian missiles on March 5, triggering force majeure. It was struck by what was later assessed as friendly fire on March 9, injuring residents. It was struck again on April 5 by what officials call a drone and what videos suggest may have also involved an interceptor. Three incidents in five weeks at the same facility. No force majeure was declared for April 5. The fire was contained rapidly. But the question the videos raise is not about this fire. It is about what happens when Patriot systems engage small, slow, low-altitude drones in saturated airspace directly above the infrastructure they are positioned to protect. Iran does not need to penetrate the shield. It needs to force the shield to fire in conditions where the shield’s own projectiles become the threat. The defence and the attack converge on the same target. And the oil burns either way.

South Korea’s 78th Armed Forces Day ceremony on October 1 featured new footage of the Hyunmoo-5 (현무-5) high-power ballistic missile in a promotional video. This marks the third consecutive year that the missile has appeared during the Armed Forces Day parade. However, it was officially labeled only as a “surface-to-surface missile” (지대지미사일) during the event. The Hyunmoo-5 is reportedly designed to carry an 8-ton-class conventional warhead, intended to strike hardened underground facilities such as North Korea’s underground command centers. Former Agency for Defense Development (ADD) Director Ahn Dong-man said in an interview that: “The destructive power of a bomb comes from kinetic energy, which increases with mass and the square of velocity. The Hyunmoo-5 is known to carry a warhead weighing around 8–9 tons, while the U.S. GBU-57 bunker buster weighs approximately 12 tons. The GBU-57 is dropped by a bomber within the atmosphere, whereas the Hyunmoo-5 is a ballistic missile that is boosted by a rocket beyond the atmosphere before rapidly descending at high speed. Since it reaches a much higher altitude, it gains greater gravitational acceleration during its descent. The Hyunmoo-5 can be considered to have one of the highest levels of destructive power among non-nuclear warheads in the world.” source: &

🚨 The last 24 hours didn’t change the war in Iran. They clarified where it’s heading. *⃣ Israel struck inside Tehran again, with the IDF confirming a wide wave targeting regime infrastructure in the capital. Open-source reporting points to repeated explosions in western Tehran’s Chitgar area, including sites linked to IRGC aerospace activity, with indications of deeper penetration into command and operational systems. *⃣ Iran launched multiple coordinated barrages into central Israel, triggering nationwide alerts across Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and the coastal plain. A ballistic missile struck a residential area, while cluster munitions and interception debris caused localized damage and light injuries across multiple locations. *⃣ The U.S. paused energy-site strikes while preparing escalation options, extending the timeline for targeting Iran’s energy infrastructure while weighing deployment of up to 10,000 additional troops and potential expanded operations. Over the last 24 hours, the battlefield didn’t shift in a dramatic new direction. But the trajectory became clearer. Inside Iran, the campaign is now visibly centered on Tehran itself, not just peripheral military sites. Repeated strikes in western districts and areas associated with IRGC aerospace infrastructure point to a focused effort to degrade missile and operational command capabilities. Additional reporting suggests targeted eliminations remain part of the campaign, though confirmation remains mixed. On the Israeli side, Iran demonstrated it can still impose disruption at scale. The latest attacks included multiple waves in a single day, with at least one confirmed impact in a residential area and additional injuries caused by shrapnel and cluster dispersal. The operational effect is less about mass casualties and more about sustained pressure on Israel’s civilian core. The diplomatic picture also became clearer, not because of progress, but because of contradiction. Washington has paused strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure for 10 days while pushing for a deal, even as Tehran denies requesting the pause and rejects key elements of the U.S. position. At the same time, Iran appears to be selectively modulating pressure in the Strait of Hormuz, allowing limited passage in what U.S. officials have framed as a gesture, even as broader threats to Gulf energy infrastructure remain in place. At the same time, the U.S. is preparing for the opposite outcome. Planning continues for additional troop deployments and potential escalation scenarios, including operations targeting Kharg Island, the terminal responsible for the majority of Iran’s oil exports. Control of that node would directly threaten the regime’s primary revenue stream, but would also carry significant risk of wider regional retaliation. Israel, for its part, appears to be acting on the assumption that its window is limited. Reporting indicates directives to accelerate strikes against Iran’s military-industrial base, including missile and drone production, before any diplomatic outcome can constrain operations. Put together, the signal is this: ➡️The war is not expanding dramatically right now. It is tightening. ➡️Israel is pushing deeper into the infrastructure that sustains Iran’s military capability, now centered on Tehran. ➡️Iran is relying on intermittent but still disruptive strikes that continue to reach Israel’s population centers. And the United States is positioning between negotiation and escalation at the same time, preparing options that could decisively shift the war if chosen. ➡️The gap between what Washington says is happening and what Tehran is willing to accept is now as important as the fighting itself. **Special thanks to Michael W for his continued contribution to the open-source intel picture behind these updates. If you aren't already, you need to give him a follow!

America is not running out of bombs. It is running out of the shield that makes bombing Iran survivable. That is the war's real asymmetry, and it inverts everything. Once US aircraft flattened Iran's fixed air defences, America could swap million-dollar standoff missiles for cheap guided bombs. Offence got cheaper by the night. But there is no cheap way to stop a ballistic missile in flight. Iran's reply burns THAAD, Patriot and Standard Missiles, the scarcest, slowest-built weapons America owns. Tehran / IRGC does not need to out-bomb America. It needs its surviving mobile launchers to keep forcing those interceptors out of the tubes. The numbers are stark. Defending Israel the most closest and the most powerful Ally in the first phase, America fired more than 200 THAAD interceptors, roughly half the Pentagon's entire inventory, + over 100 Standard Missiles from Navy ships. Around 200 remain. No new interceptor has arrived since August 2023, and none is expected until 2027. Output is about 96 a year. Washington signed a 35 billion dollar contract to reach 400, over seven years. Money solved the order. It cannot solve time. One myth is worth correcting. Iran is not firing cheap drones to make THAAD shoot them down. THAAD kills ballistic missiles. The drones stretch radars, fighters and the lower layers, the cruise missiles hunt for gaps, and the ballistic missiles force the expensive shots. Iran is attacking the entire defensive stack, not trading one drone for one interceptor. Then China. It does not run a total embargo, and it does not control 98% of all rare earths. It controls roughly 98% of refined gallium, dominates the magnet chain, and runs a licensing system that quietly denies foreign defence buyers while civilian trade flows. America has received no Chinese yttrium for two months. Beijing can throttle the upstream of the very weapons Washington needs for the next war. Every interceptor fired over the Gulf is one unavailable to Ukraine, Korea or the Pacific. Iran's remaining launcher is worth more than the missile inside it, because it forces America to spend time, and time is the one munition no factory can surge. This war is not a test of which magazine empties first. It is a test of which side makes the other spend the future to survive the present. Oh boy!

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 THE BIG QUESTION: SHOULD TRUMP FINALLY HIT IRAN'S INFRASTRUCTURE? History does not repeat, but it rhymes loud enough to hear. In 1945, Japan was finished. Its navy was gone. Its cities were burning. Its war machine could not replace what it lost. And still the leadership would not surrender. Iran today looks eerily familiar. Its radar sites keep getting flattened. Its small boats keep getting sunk. Its missile stockpiles keep getting hit. And still Tehran keeps shooting, mining, and lying its way through every ceasefire it signs. To be clear, nobody is talking about the weapon that finally ended Japan's war. Trump is not dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran, and nobody serious is suggesting he would. That is not the parallel. The parallel is the dilemma itself. What do you do with an enemy that is beaten by every rational measure, yet refuses to act like it? Trump has tried to solve that puzzle the hard way, the careful way. Hit the drone depots. Hit the coastal radar. Leave the power plants standing. Leave the water desalination facilities alone. Spare the bridges and highways ordinary families use every day. He said it himself. He does not want to punish a population for the sins of a regime they never chose, and he does not want American taxpayers footing the bill to rebuild a country we did not break in the first place. But restraint only works on an enemy capable of reading the signal. Iran keeps proving it cannot, or will not. So the real question is not whether Iran is beaten. It clearly is. The real question is what finally convinces a regime that will not admit defeat, without turning millions of ordinary Iranians into collateral damage for their leaders' stubbornness. That is the needle Trump has to thread. Escalate enough to end this, without becoming the very thing his restraint was designed to avoid. The world will be watching which targets he chooses next as closely as it watches whether Iran ever really surrenders at all.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 IRAN WAR STRATEGY EXPLAINED! It is important to understand that Iran is not fighting a symmetric war against the USA/Israel. They can’t and they don’t. 📋 Iran is doing two things at the same time: 1) WAR ON OIL AND GAS Iran is trying to choke off oil and gas trade from the Middle East through strikes on oil and gas platforms/refineries and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which handles about 25% of seaborne oil and gas trade. (Video 3) This hits US and Arab interests hard. The sheikhs are already calling Trump and urging quick action. They need peace to continue business. → This is achieved with minimal effort by Iran and is working. No ships pass the strait, oil/gas production is halted to some extent, prices skyrocket. This affects everyone worldwide. Trump is under heavy pressure as long as this continues. 2) MISSILE WAR The missile campaign is not aimed at quickly destroying USA or Israel. That’s pure internet hype. Iran fires enough drones and missiles to keep defenses busy and deplete interceptor stocks. They strike multiple locations simultaneously (Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, even Cyprus), forcing the US to spread air defenses thin. Concentrating heavy defenses in one place becomes impossible. As Rubio noted yesterday, only 6–7 interceptors are produced per month (Video 2), while Iran produces over 100 missiles per month. If Iran sustains the campaign, it will win the attrition war against air defenses. Time is on Iran’s side. The more air-defense missiles are expended per Iranian projectile, (just look how much they fire to intercept one missile - Video 4), the worse the situation becomes for the defenders—especially after Ukraine depleted much of the Western stockpile over the past four years. Key takeaway: As long as Iran maintains the missile campaign, time works in their favour. The longer the conflict lasts, the stronger Iran’s position becomes. If air defenses run out, Iran can strike freely anything and will win. 📋 Status quo: A) Iran fired fewer missiles on Monday, so they are losing? No! Analysis of the US CENTCOM video (Video 1): The US Air Force struck abandoned, already-used launchers and a broken-down truck. They clearly couldn’t locate active Iranian missile forces, so they hit whatever they found. The launchers were already expended; the crews had left after firing. When the US releases such footage, it suggests this is the best they have. They are not destroying Iran’s missile forces at a high rate. They destroy abandoned trucks. Iran doesn’t need to act quickly. Firing drones and missiles a few times a day is enough to keep oil/gas trade stopped and air defenses occupied. As long as they sustain this, time remains on their side. B) Is Iran winning? Also No. Iran struggles to keep its airspace clear. US surveillance drones continue to penetrate, preventing free movement of launchers. As long as those drones remain active, Iran cannot fire at will without risk. Failure to neutralise them would break their strategy. While American and Israeli drones fly in Irans sky, Irans missiles stay under ground and can’t surface, or they risk being struck quickly. Hence US/Israeli Surveillance drones, that direct strikes are the biggest problem Iran has now. They want to roll out missile infrastructure from below ground to the surface, and they can’t … at least not at scale. Watch this closely as a key indicator. How many drones are flying above Iran and how many are shot down. C) What is the US/Israeli strategy? They planned to remove Khamenei, trigger mass protests by Shah supporters, and install a new regime. This has clearly failed. Now they destroy military buildings (police headquarters, etc.), mostly for posture and intimidation. Essential personnel do not work in above-ground offices—doing so would be foolish. The remaining option is to make life unbearable and force surrender by bombing power plants and similar infrastructure. This will come soon at scale. More bombs!
