The United States and Israel conducted airstrikes on Iran but failed to completely cut off its command chain. Iran quickly retaliated, demonstrating its preparedness. The number of missile launches and their technology are critical, with hypersonic missiles potentially breaking through the U.S. and Israel's missile defense systems.

The Central Television military observer Wei Dongxu said that the United States and Israel carried out a large-scale airstrike against Iran, but they did not completely sever Iran’s command chain. After the airstrikes took place, Iran’s missile forces immediately retaliated, indicating that Iran had anticipated the attacks against the United States and Israel and made adequate preparations. How effective are Iran’s missile strike capabilities? First, look at how many ballistic missiles it can launch in the shortest amount of time. Once a saturation attack posture is formed, the U.S. and Israel’s missile defense systems may find it difficult to intercept comprehensively. Second, missile technology is key: if Iran uses a large number of hypersonic missiles, or long-range strike systems with very strong penetration capabilities, it would be difficult for the U.S. and Israel’s missile defense and air defense systems to guarantee 100% interception.
