Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Cain said, "Compared to the first day of the conflict, the number of Iranian ballistic missile launches has decreased by 86%, and further dropped by 23% in the past 24 hours. The number of Iranian drone launches has also decreased by 73% compared to the first week of the operation."
Micro-comment
Iran's long-range strike capabilities have shown a significant decline since the outbreak of the conflict, with a continuous sharp drop in launch frequency, indicating that its long-range strike capability is beginning to be restricted.
On one hand, Israel and its allies' air defense and anti-missile systems have successfully intercepted most of the launched objects. On the other hand, Iran's missiles and drones have been exhausted in the early stages of the campaign, and lack rapid replenishment channels.
Iran may change its tactics, shifting to low-cost, small-scale sporadic attacks instead of large-scale concentrated strikes. This does not mean the end of the conflict, but rather may indicate the continuation of low-intensity conflicts such as guerilla warfare and proxy attacks.
