Part 7/11:
A crucial revelation from recent reporting is that Iran initially planned a large-scale missile barrage, potentially launching up to 1,000 missiles at Israel—an effort designed to overwhelm the country’s defenses and deliver a decisive blow. However, this plan was thwarted remarkably early. Israel’s surprise preemptive strikes destroyed vital missile and radar bases, dismantled command structures, and killed numerous Iranian commanders during an emergency war council. As a result, Iran’s ability to execute the full assault was significantly crippled, limiting their response to only about a hundred missiles—just 10% of the intended magnitude.
This intelligence underscores Israel’s effective military operations and highlights the significant damage inflicted on Iran's strategic capabilities.
