\n Despite deep cuts inflicted by the United States and Israel on the Iranian regime, Tehran continues to launch waves of attacks across the region.\n <\/p>\n

\n In June last year, Israel launched a surprise attack <\/a>on Iran that destroyed parts of its nuclear program, severely damaged missile production sites and killed key military commanders.\n <\/p>\n

\n Though suffering heavy losses, satellite imagery analysis showed that Iran has rebuilt<\/a> damaged missile facilities and was rapidly fortifying several of its nuclear facilities.\n <\/p>\n

\n The death of Iran\u2019s supreme leader in US and Israeli airstrikes is a clear victory for the two allies, but much uncertainty lies ahead.\n <\/p>\n

\n While the US and Israel claim highly successful strikes at a range of Iranian targets, including eliminating other key leaders, analysts note only a few independent satellite images of damage in Iran have been seen so far, including those that show the destruction of the supreme leader\u2019s compound and others that show a cloud of black smoke rising over a docked Iranian warship.\n <\/p>\n

\n Some suggest it will take at least 48 hours to get solid information \u2013 and more satellite photo evidence \u2013 on how successful the first day of US-Israeli strikes were.\n <\/p>\n

\n The lack of independent evidence of the destruction of Iran\u2019s missile forces leaves open to question how much firepower Tehran still has in its arsenal.\n <\/p>\n

\n While it has struck back against a range of targets across the Middle East since the conflict began \u2013 hundreds of ballistic missiles and more than a thousand drones by some accounts \u2013 analysts note that in last summer\u2019s 12-day war with Israel, Iran held off using much of its inventory of missiles and drones until later in the conflict.\n <\/p>\n

\n Iran strikes back: There was a hint of this early Sunday as Iran said it was launching a fresh wave attacks across the region, with Dubai, Bahrain<\/a>, Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Israel reporting incoming Iranian munitions throughout the morning.\n <\/p>\n

\n Video of Iranian counterattacks since the combat began shows a large volume of missile interceptors being used in targeted countries like Israel, the UAE and Bahrain.\n <\/p>\n

\n Stockpiles: The US and Israel in particular used huge quantities of their limited and hard-to-replace air defense interceptors in the 12-day war last summer, there are doubts about how long current stocks will last if Iran still has ballistic missiles and drones in reserve for an extended conflict.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite deep cuts inflicted by the United States and Israel on the Iranian regime, Tehran continues to launch…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":314701,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[85,46,43],"class_list":{"0":"post-316087","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-israel","8":"tag-il","9":"tag-israel","10":"tag-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316087\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/314701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=316087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=316087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
