Overview

• Since June 13’s Operation Rising Lion, Israeli strikes have destroyed 120 of Iran’s missile launchers, about one-third of its known arsenal.
• Iran has launched roughly 400 missiles at Israel so far, but Israel’s defenses have intercepted over 90 percent, limiting ground impact to 35 warheads.
• Israel announced it achieved air superiority over Tehran ahead of schedule, enabling targeted attacks on missile production plants and military communication centers.
• Estimations place Iran’s original stock of around 2,000 medium-range ballistic missiles at between 300 and 1,300 remaining, reflecting steep depletion.
• Israel’s nightly missile defense bills, estimated at $285 million, and US-led diplomatic efforts for a ceasefire are shaping a potential de-escalation path.
