Zionist Entity’s Air Defense Crumbles Under Iranian Missile Force in 12-Day Conflict

Tehran: Israeli statements reveal that the primary objective of the Zionist entity's recent aggression against Iran was to neutralize Iran's missile force, particularly its long-range ballistic missiles, which were perceived as a strategic threat. This objective was not met during the 12-day conflict, as Iran's missile capabilities dominated the airspace over the occupied Palestinian territories, effectively disabling the entity's air defense systems. According to Yemen News Agency, since the entity's inception, it has never faced a military strike as formidable as the one launched by Iranian ballistic missiles. Despite attempts to target Iran's missile stockpiles from the onset of the conflict, the Zionist entity failed to achieve its goals. Throughout the war, the Iranian aerospace forces maintained control, forcing the entity to shift from offensive to defensive strategies. For 12 consecutive days, Zionist raids aimed to reach Iranian missile depots, stations, and platforms, recognizing Iran's substantia l weapon stockpile. However, these attempts were futile, as Iran's capabilities provided it with a significant advantage. The Iranian missile force launched intensive, twice-daily strikes that achieved precise targeting and overwhelmed the entity's air defenses, showcasing various missile types for the first time. The persistent Iranian missile waves continued unabated, compelling American intervention to target three Iranian nuclear sites. Despite this, Iranian missile operations remained consistent throughout the conflict, demonstrating Iran's superior war strategy. The formidable Iranian arsenal proved untouchable, leading to a ceasefire agreement without any significant impact on Iran's missile capabilities. Prominent among the missiles that demonstrated Iran's prowess were third-generation models, such as the Khaybar Shekan and Khorramshahr-4. These surface-to-surface ballistic missiles, produced by the IRGC's aerospace forces, highlighted the strategic importance of Iran's missile force. The Zionist e ntity's inability to neutralize these capabilities ultimately forced it to seek a ceasefire. The Khaybar Shekan, a solid-fueled surface-to-surface ballistic missile, exemplifies Iran's advanced missile technology. As one of Iran's long-range third-generation missiles, it underscores the nation's potential in missile warfare, with capabilities that remain undisclosed even after the conflict.
