The U.S. and Israel are pounding Iran’s missile-launching sites, hitting some over and over across almost a month of war. But Tehran’s missiles keep flying.
Iran has shifted to firing from deeper inside its territory with longer-range missiles, military analysts and former U.S. officers said, after airstrikes early in the war inflicted a heavy toll on Iranian bases and truck launchers near the Persian Gulf coastline. Iran is firing far fewer missiles now—down to around a dozen a day—but they have turned them against less-defended targets in Israel and Gulf Arab states, causing greater damage in some cases.
Even in small numbers, the weapons have helped Tehran achieve its goals—prolong the conflict, raise the economic costs on oil-exporting Gulf countries and in the U.S., and survive to fight another day.
The candle is burning out.
ReplyDeleteWithout the means to manufacture more missiles, Iran's military is flickering, shooting off the last remnants of their once mighty arsenal.
More signs of desperation.
Wishful thinking

DeleteForgive me. It was somewhat callous on my part to treat lightly the continued missile barrages. It's once thing to muse upon the war a quarter of the way around the world and another to be in the thick of battle.
