Iran has burned through a massive munitions load, launching more than 800 ballistic missiles and over 2K drones. Yet, IRGC has been unable to degrade US or Israeli capability even marginally. It had its shot and it blew it by trying to pursue its version of the regional shock... show more

A state poses a threat to the United States when it has the will and ability to inflict harm. The IRGC still has the will to harm the US as evidenced by the ongoing attacks against US forces and our allies in the region. Until its will is broken (or more likely in my view, it's destroyed), the US is continuing to degrade its capability. ht Mike Emanuel 🇺🇸

Since Iran started using its new missiles, Israel’s air defense system has been unable to stop them. In front of these missiles, its air defense system has become almost ineffective. Even after using interceptors worth millions of dollars, it is still unable to stop them, and the missiles are easily reaching and hitting their targets.

Iran will have to upgrade its air defense game. It can’t sustain a prolonged missile war if US drones can patrol its skies. Many such drones were shot down, but not all. An American MQ-9 combat drone flies over Shiraz and fires Hellfire missiles at a target it has identified.

Foreign experts believe that Iran has so far deliberately sacrificed its outdated missiles and drones, using them as bait to exhaust the air defenses of the US and Israel, as well as American allies in the region. This strategy is reportedly working brilliantly. Now the IRGC is increasing pressure by deploying its more sophisticated ballistic missiles and drones. As a result, Israel, as well as the Persian Gulf states, are exposed to increasingly direct and devastating attacks.

**"The Israeli government has informed the commander of the U.S. military contingent (CENTCOM) that Israel will strike Iran if Iran activates its nuclear programs and continues the development of ballistic missiles."** This was reported by the Israeli television channel "Channel-13". Given that Iran has repeatedly confirmed plans to further develop its missile program, if the statement is true, an Israeli attack on Iran is inevitable, and considering the upcoming elections in Israel, it is likely to happen no later than mid-autumn.

These are US Patriot missiles firing to intercept ballistic missiles incoming from Iran over the skies of Jordan. Iran has been firing missiles and drones at Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain for the past couple of hours as a response to the earlier strikes by the US on Iranian targets. My prediction is that the IRGC are going to make a grave miscalculation and do something from which there is no going back on. Then things will really escalate.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran has never been able to supply enough gasoline, diesel, or kerosene to its own people, so it sells its crude to India, India refines it, and sells it back.

The Pentagon is burning through its weapons at a rate that has genuinely alarmed its own officials. In the first 16 days alone, the US fired nearly half its combined inventory of ATACMS and Precision Strike Missiles, and nearly 40 percent of its THAAD interceptors. Over 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles have been launched in four weeks. The US produces roughly 90 to 100 Tomahawks per year. It has now fired more in a month than it makes in eight years. Pete Hegseth’s solution is to ask Congress for $200 billion and tell reporters it takes money to kill bad guys. Trump’s solution is to post on Truth Social that stockpiles have “never been higher.” Neither man appears to have told the missiles. Gandalv / Gandalv

Why has Iran’s response been so lacklustre, managing to fire fewer than 100 missiles, of which only seven made it through the air defence net? The Israeli Air Force currently dominates Iran’s airspace—not just with stealth jets, but also with noisy drones, videos of which are now emerging as they circle over Tabriz, deep inside Iran. And there’s nothing Iran can do about it. Israel also clearly has excellent intelligence on missile storage sites. However, Iran is vast, and Israel can’t be everywhere at once. Some of Iran’s systems are mobile and can be launched quickly—so inevitably, some will get through. But as we’ve seen with Hezbollah, every launch burns a site and reveals more intelligence. So as Iran "uses it," it also "loses it." Recall that Iran’s primary means of deterring an Israeli attack was never its stockpile of a few thousand ballistic missiles. It was its proxies—Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and other groups in Syria and Iraq. These were meant to attack Israel en masse in the event of an Israeli strike, creating a deterrent and allowing the IRGC to continue developing its doomsday weapons. But those proxies are now severely depleted. They’ve been rendered largely harmless. All Iran has left is its missile arsenal. However, as demonstrated in Iran’s two 2024 attacks, these missiles are highly inaccurate, with a circular error probable (CEP) of around 900 meters. That means half will land within 900 meters of their target—and half outside. Hitting any particular static target reliably requires launching hundreds of missiles. This makes them practically useless against military targets—which is why Iran has instead aimed them at cities, where even a miss can cause destruction. The missiles are also vulnerable to interception by multiple layers of Israeli and U.S. air defenses. That’s why they must be fired in large volleys rather than piecemeal. If launched one by one, over 90% will be intercepted. Combined with their inaccuracy, this makes them embarrassingly ineffective, as the Houthis have recently demonstrated. Launching large volleys, however, requires intact command-and-control systems—which have been struck—and the ability to move launch systems freely without hostile jets overhead. Last time, it took Iran three days to prepare a full-scale salvo. That kind of preparation is nearly impossible under an enemy’s air umbrella and with real-time intelligence coverage. They managed to assemble a volley of under 100 missiles—a quarter of what they launched in previous strikes—and it clearly wasn’t enough to break through air defenses. Only seven got through, destroying a few structures and injuring 12 people. Do the math: even if Iran has enough munitions for 20 more such volleys (as some experts suggest), the total damage it can inflict is not large. Still, Iran may have tricks left up its sleeve—such as submarine-launched missiles seen in recent footage—and could resort to terror attacks against soft Israeli or Jewish targets in the West. To Jews in the West, I’d say this: be careful. Iran is now a very dangerous, cornered bear. It has operatives in your countries, and it may not hesitate to use them. Stay vigilant.

One US interceptor: $4,000,000. And you often need more than one interceptor to take down a single drone. Iran is bleeding the U.S economically, psychologically, and politically.

ZELENSKYY: Overnight, 48 missiles and 476 drones of various types were shot down. Unfortunately, not all of them. There's shortage of anti-ballistic capabilities, of Patriots. Russia has no argument left for its war other than its ballistic missiles, this kind of terror. Putin still intends to "vanquish" residential buildings rather than end this war. This can be countered both through sufficient supplies of anti-ballistic systems and through much faster work to develop Europe's own anti-ballistic capabilities.

The Israeli Air Force has destroyed a third of Iran's ballistic missile launchers and is managing to disrupt "extensive parts" of its attacks on Israel, IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin says in a press conference. He says that in the two barrages since last night, 65 ballistic missiles and dozens of drones were launched at Israel, most of which were intercepted, but three impacts killed eight people. Defrin says Iran wanted to launch at least twice as many missiles at Israel overnight. Overnight, 20 ballistic missiles were simultaneously targeted by the Israeli Air Force in Iran before they could be launched, he says. The IDF says that some 50 fighter jets and drones also identified and struck missile storage sites, and command centers where Iranian soldiers were gathered to launch the missiles. Since the start of the conflict, the IDF says it has destroyed over 120 Iranian ballistic missile launchers, which it says is a third of what Iran had. Additionally, the military says the IAF conducted waves of strikes in Isfahan, hitting over 100 military targets.
