US Edition12-Day Israel-Iran War Degraded Iran’s Military but Left Missile Threats Intact
Israel’s strikes damaged Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure, but Iran retains significant short-range missile and drone capabilities, experts say.
- During June 13-24 last year, Israel launched strikes that degraded key parts of Iran's military but left its capabilities far from neutralized.
- President Donald Trump ramped up pressure on Iran with American carrier strike groups in the Middle East and strikes by B-2 stealth bombers on three nuclear sites.
- Iran fired hundreds of missiles and more than 1,000 drones, killing nearly three dozen civilians, while analysts say short-range ballistic missiles suffered little damage, leaving Iran's missile inventories largely intact.
- Tehran and Israel agreed to a ceasefire after the strikes, but defending the region from retaliation is now central as analysts warn Iran could target U.S. bases or the Strait of Hormuz.
- Many proxies are degraded, and Sascha Bruchmann warns that if hostilities resume, the cycle is likely to repeat, given current deployments and pressures.

Why ARE the US and Israel Obsessed With Eliminating Iran’s Ballistic Missiles? - The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity
It appears the main topic of discussion at Wednesday’s meeting between Donald Trump and Bibi Netanyahu was Iran’s ballistic missile program. It really was not a discussion… Instead it was Bibi, with his advisers, trying to sell Trump and his team on the necessity of ending Iran’s ballistic missile capability. Why the emphasis on those missiles when, until recently, the big concern was whether Iran could build a nuclear bomb? The US and Israeli n…
Iran weakened by 12-day war but still retains significant military power
Tehran: With one American carrier strike group already in the Middle East and another apparently on its way as US President Donald Trump ramps up pressure on Iran to give up its nuclear program, fears are rising of the outbreak of another war that could spread into a regional conflict. The 12-day Israel-Iran war last year appeared to cripple key elements of Iran’s military, yet left its capabilities far from neutralised — a distinction that loom…
