US-Israel Strikes Devastate Iran, Missiles Fired Back

0:00On March 1st, a joint U.S. and Israeli military operation against Iran has taken out top leaders, including Supreme Leader Ali Kamanay, the defense, minister, armed forces chief, and revolutionary guards head. This came in intense early strikes, with the U.S. hitting around 900 targets in the first 12 hours in Israel conducting 1200, bombings in the first day. The attacks focused on crippling Iran's command structure and offensive power. Iran has fired back with hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel, U.S. bases, and air of nations like the United Arab Emirates and Oman. While the volume is high, most have been intercepted, causing only limited damage and a handful of deaths. Experts say these efforts aim to overwhelm defenses, similar to tactics seen in Ukraine, but success rates are low so far. The losses have left Iran's military shaken and less coordinated, despite pre-planned successors. Experts like Hezbollah have been weakened from prior conflicts, leaving fewer options

Iran's missile stock, estimated at 1,500 to 3,000 before the war, is burning through fast, with over 170. Launched on day one, attempts to hit U.S. ships like the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln missed by a wide margin. Now, they're turning to drones and threats in the strait of Hormuz to disrupt oil tankers, with a few already damaged. As the pace of strikes continues, all eyes are on oil prices tomorrow, and whether Iran can land a big enough blow to shift the dynamic, the conflict shows no signs of slowing, testing the regime's ability to hold on.
