I’ve read something on twitter about how apparently recently Iran finally used like one of their modern rockets and dealt major damage to Israel; apparently they were using their old, 20-30 year old missiles to overwhelm the iron dome and then after getting rid of Israel’s iron dome, they’ll use their newest tech.

Actually pretty well thought out.

    Best scenario is that Iran has more missiles than Israel have interceptors. That should be the case because Iran has been really concentrating on building up their missile stock. Unfortunately they had to neglect their airforce and air defence. Seems like Israel can fly their jets pretty freely inside Iran trying to take out Iranian missile launchers. So far it doesn’t seem too successful for Israel since we are still seeing missile raining down on Tel Aviv and Haifa.

      Israel cannot currently fly jets within Iran proper, however they can hit targets in Iran with stand-off strikes from Iraq and elsewhere.

      This is I believe the official position of the Iranian government at the moment.

        I saw a post recently where apparently Iran revealed they’d been using decoys to lure attacks to worthless targets (people even point out about the videos of those attacks that you don’t see secondary explosions because Iran wasn’t keeping their missiles there); they had radars (or something) giving off pulses to draw Israel to targets of Iran’s choosing

        The strikes in Iran currently appear to be surface fired ATGMs and drones from with Iran itself. There is a video of a Iranian motorcycle cop in a high speed chase with a van. Presumably it is driven by Israeli operatives. The cop is shooting at the van like a scene out of GTA. Another of Iranian cops shooting down a Israeli drone with small arms fire.

        There are also videos of trucks being used to smuggle in explosive devices and drone parts and another where Iranian intelligence is documenting a drone manufacturing warehouse they discovered within Iran.

        Also at least two videos circulating where you can clearly see a missile launched from the ground at a nearby target. The Israelis have got some serious ground operations happening there and the Iranians are running around trying to catch them. Official statement from an Iranian government source as well warning all Iranian citizens to report any home rentals to foreign nationals in the last few months.
