Iran was very tough and fierce on the first day of the war, which was somewhat unexpected.
First, Iran announced that Supreme Leader Khamenei would give a speech on the outbreak of the war. He not only survived the US attack but also gave a speech. If it is an audio or even a video speech, it will be a blow to the arrogance of the United States and Israel.
Second, a source from the Qatari Ministry of Defense confirmed to Al Jazeera that a warning radar located in northern Qatar was attacked by an Iranian missile. No casualties have been reported so far, and the damage is being assessed. Earlier, Iran stated that a US radar deployed in Qatar had been "completely destroyed." This radar is used to track ballistic missiles with a detection range of 5,000 kilometers.
Third, Iran announced that it had severely damaged a US combat support ship with missiles. This news has not yet been verified by the US military.
Fourth, Iran claimed that at least 200 US personnel were injured or killed in the Iranian missile attacks. This news has also not been verified by the US military.
Fifth, the Iranian army said that the missiles used in today's counterattack were merely "old stockpiles" in the warehouse. Iran will soon demonstrate and deploy a series of "mysterious weapons that have never been seen before" on the battlefield. The power and technical level of these advanced equipment will far exceed public expectations, delivering a devastating blow to the aggressors.
In summary, Iran's counterattack on the first day was very strong in terms of momentum, showing a firm and defiant attitude, and there is much to talk about. The initial goal of the US and Israel to suppress and weaken Iran has not been achieved.
The war has just begun, and Iran's subsequent performance is worth watching.
