The U.S. had just claimed that the number of Iranian missile attacks had significantly decreased, but before the words were even out of their mouths, Iran launched a strong wave of firepower against Israel. On March 11, Israeli media reported that Iran fired five rounds of missile attacks within seven hours, and Hezbollah's missiles penetrated Israel's air defense system, hitting Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. After being hit by a missile, the downtown area of Tel Aviv caught fire, resulting in multiple casualties.
This powerful display of firepower undoubtedly directly shattered the U.S.'s optimistic assessment that "the offensive has weakened, the situation is under control, and Iran is already at its last gasp." The thick smoke rising from Tel Aviv and the continuous alarms in Jerusalem, with multiple buildings directly hit and civilian casualties, once again exposed the loopholes in Israel's air defense system. Through actions, Iran has told Israel that it fully possesses the capability for sustained high-intensity strikes. If Israel wants to completely overthrow the Iranian regime and become a regional bully, it is nothing more than an illusion.
Iran launched five rounds of missile attacks within a span of seven hours. On the 11th day of this conflict, Iran still demonstrated such a strong show of firepower. Obviously, Iran understands that if it really goes to the negotiation table, it must accumulate leverage on the battlefield. Only by inflicting enough losses on the United States and Israel, making these two countries feel the pain, can Iran earn respect and obtain what it wants. By increasing the intensity of the attack, Iran took Israel by surprise, and this conflict will obviously exceed the previous "Twelve-Day War."
