    Iranian missiles continue to undermine years of propaganda about defense systems.

    With targets in Israel being hit by Iranian missiles and other targets at American bases in the Gulf region, even in the face of numerous Patriot batteries that are now known to be firing with little success, given the numerous explosions in Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Kingdom (typo for UAE I’m sure), Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.

    I’m If the Iranian launches maintain the current pace, they should deplete the Patriot interceptor stockpiles protecting these bases within 48 hours, leaving only Riyadh, which possesses a large number of its own batteries with ammunition, including a THAAD battery.

    In the case of Jordan, there is also coverage by batteries on Israeli territory. In the case of Israel, interceptions appear to have failed again, as several explosions have been heard in various cities. Iran appears to have used its most modern missiles in the initial attacks.

    Despite the evident success of the Iranian missiles, it is still too early to discuss the degree of failure of the air defenses, not to mention that they exist.

    On both sides, the attacks hit civilian targets, and in Tel Aviv, houses are burning, while in Iran, a school was hit, leaving at least 23 children dead and others trapped under rubble. To further complicate the security of patriotic supplies in the region, the Houthis announced the closure of traffic in the Red Sea and full support for Iranian retaliation, which should mean missiles targeting American and Israeli bases.

    With the start of naval combat, it will be possible to see how prepared Iran is for a prolonged conflict, supporting bombings on its territory.
