Israel's view to the US government: If the US attacks can overthrow the current Iranian regime, Israel has the capability and willingness to withstand Iran's maximum retaliation (about 700 ballistic missiles)... as long as Khamenei is completely defeated, this cost is worth it.
Is this Israel's maximum capacity? If so, it seriously underestimates Iran's missile strike capabilities.
Israel's official statement claims that it can withstand the "worst case" of 700 ballistic missile attacks by Iran, but this statement sharply contrasts with Iran's actual missile penetration capabilities and the defense weaknesses of US military bases in the Middle East.
Iran had over 3,000 missiles in stock before the war, and after consumption, there are still 1,300-2,500 missiles available, with a monthly production capacity of 300 missiles, which can be doubled; since June last year, according to a monthly production capacity of 300 missiles, 1,800 should have been added, making the total inventory reach 3,100 to 4,300 missiles.
Regional coverage: 2,000 medium-range missiles cover the entire Israel and 32 U.S. military bases in the Middle East, combined with drone swarms tactics to suppress air defense;
Blockading the Strait of Hormuz could impact 30% of global oil transportation, forcing the U.S. to weigh the costs of war.
This is Iran's leverage, while Israel's leverage is the United States.
