Threats and propaganda compose a basic part of any war, yet the practical aspect of the military confrontation is determined solely by the performance of the personnel and the arsenal that each side possesses.

Over decades, the Zionist regime has been promoting the danger of the Iranian nuclear program although Tehran has always proved the civilian essence of its strategic project, knowing that the periodic reports of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) have never shown what contradict with Iran’s statements.

However, ‘Israel’ and the Western allies, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union have always rejected that a state, disobedient to the American will, possesses such a power that grants independence, advancement and prosperity in every field.

Thus, the decision to dismantle the Iranian nuclear program has been resolutely made by the imperial forces and foes of the real human progress. The Zionist regime, which is already involved in an almost two-year war on Gaza where it has killed over 55 thousand civilians, has been tasked with the implementation of this decision.

The war with the Islamic Republic has a different taste than that of the genocide in Gaza. Iran is a very powerful country whose rocketry arsenal is capable of changing strategic formulas in the entire region.

The deceptive preemptive strike of the Israeli enemy on Iran on Friday, June 13, 2025, made the Israelis and their allies suffer from the illusion of defeating the Iranian Armed Forces. However, when the Iranian ballistic missiles started showering the Israeli cities in the occupied Palestinian territories, the Israeli regime recognized that the confrontation is so hard.

According to military experts, the Israeli defenses have failed in face of the Iranian rockets as the interception missiles could not protect the Zionists from death, injury and destruction.

‘Israel’ is running low on defensive Arrow interceptors, a US official told the Wall Street Journal, adding that this raises concern about the entity’s ability to counter long-range ballistic missiles from Iran if the conflict isn’t resolved soon.

In other US media reports, the Israeli defense can, at best, be sufficient to confront the Iranian missile attacks for around 10 to 12 days.

On the other hand, the Iranian statements, including those of the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps), affirmed that the missiles, fired at the Zionist entity so far, are from old stock of the Iranian arsenal.

IRGC also issued on Tuesday, June 17, a statement to announce the use of the first generation of Fattah missiles in the 11th wave of Operation True Promise 3.

“Our operation represents the beginning of the end of the myth of the Israeli defenses and sends a message of power to the Zionists’ ally (US) which instigates war.”

IRGC statement indicated clearly that the failure Israeli defenses will lead the entity to the defeat which cannot be evaded despite the possible help of the United States.

Two days after the start of the confrontation, the Zionist enemy pleaded the US to interfere and help it against Iran’s first stock of missiles. What if Iran escalates its rocketry attack on the Zionist entity?
