Episode notes
Iran's Retaliation Was Severely Limited
- Iran intended to launch up to 1,000 missiles against Israel but could only launch about 100 due to Israeli preemptive strikes.
- Israel’s destruction of missile bases and command centers critically diminished Iran’s retaliation capability.
Israel’s Defense Systems and Civilian Shelters
- Israel’s multi-layered air defense system intercepted most Iranian missiles and drones, but high volume allowed some to penetrate.
- Extensive civilian bomb shelters helped minimize casualties despite some missile hits.
U.S. Military Support Boosts Israel Defense
- The U.S. actively supported Israel’s defense with missile interception assets and military presence in the region.
- Additional U.S. military assets were rapidly repositioned to reinforce regional security.
