Middle East Crisis Iran War

US and Israel Continue Attacks – May Soon Run Out of Missiles

US and Israeli attacks on Iran continued unabated on Wednesday, and both countries are clear that it is far from over. This is reported by several media outlets.

The Israeli military stated this afternoon that they had bombed a building that housed “the headquarters of all Iranian security services”, including the Revolutionary Guard, the elite Quds Force and the Basij militia. Later in the evening they said that they had launched a new wave of attacks against Iranian regime targets.

The US states that Iran is now firing 86 percent fewer ballistic missiles and 73 percent fewer drones than on Saturday when the war began, and that they expect total air dominance within a few days. There are currently no plans for ground forces.

Washington Post sources say the US is getting rid of so many missiles that they may have to start prioritizing targets to attack within days.
