Iran’s recent missile attack on Israel revealed both its military weaknesses and arsenal strength. Despite launching numerous missiles, the attack showcased limitations, raising concerns about escalating conflicts in the region.
Israel’s advanced missile defense systems, supported by the US, were able to intercept many Iranian missiles, but some still caused damage. Iran’s extensive missile program, developed under harsh sanctions, poses a threat not only to Israel but also to other Middle Eastern countries.
A large stockpile
Iran’s missile program, initiated during the Iran-Iraq war, includes various missile types with a significant stockpile. The arsenal, likely built with foreign aid, presents a threat to regional stability, as shown by previous attacks on Saudi Arabia and US bases in the area.
