Iran retains strong missile capabilities despite US claims.So what
No clear picture exists of how much real military power Iran has left.
Civilian Toll○Nobody Covers
Reports mention five killed in Mianeh but give little detail on who they were or wider casualties inside Iran and Israel. Without fuller casualty data, it is hard to understand how much civilians on each side are suffering from these strikes.
Next Missile Wave▸What to Watch
If Iran launches another large missile wave or pauses attacks over the coming days, that will show whether Tehran is trying to keep pressure on Israel and the United States or is stepping back from further escalation.
What Could Happen If...
- ▸If Iran continues launching missile waves at Israeli territory while using new air defence systems against US aircraft Israel and the United States may answer with deeper strikes inside Iran, raising the risk of higher casualties in cities like Mianeh.
