IAF: Iran’s Missile Capabilities Could Drop 95% Within Days
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Chief
(Worthy News) – Israel’s military believes Iran’s ability to launch ballistic missiles at the Jewish state could collapse by as much as 95% within days, according to reports Tuesday citing senior Israeli Air Force officials.
The assessment was presented to Israel’s political-security Cabinet, with officials saying the sharp decline in missile launches could occur “within a few days,” though not immediately. A security source told Channel 12 News that while attacks may continue in the short term, Iran’s firing capability is expected to drop dramatically soon.
The progress comes after more than 11 consecutive days of intense strikes as Israel and the United States continue their joint military campaign against the Islamic Republic, which began on Feb. 28.
Israeli officials say over 80% of Iran’s missile-launching capacity targeting Israel has already been destroyed during the operation. According to Hebrew media reports, the Israel Defense Forces has dropped more than 10,000 munitions on Iranian regime targets, three times the number used during the earlier 12-day conflict known as Operation Rising Lion.
Israeli Air Force Commander Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar told military leaders that neutralizing Iran’s launch infrastructure remains the top priority.
“I want the war to be fought there, not here,” Bar said. “There should be no shooting, and the country must be able to keep functioning.”
Despite the progress, life inside Israel remains tense. Millions of civilians continue to rush to bomb shelters as missile sirens sound across the country. Several Iranian missile launches were reported again Wednesday, including one intercepted over central Israel. No fatalities were reported, though several people were injured while running to shelters.
Israel’s Home Front Command has extended nationwide emergency restrictions through Saturday, keeping schools closed, limiting public gatherings near shelters, and restricting non-essential activity.
The Israeli government also voted to extend a nationwide “special emergency situation” through March 26, granting authorities expanded powers to limit civilian movement and public gatherings while the war continues.
Analysts say that if missile fire declines to only occasional launches—similar to previous attacks from Yemen’s Houthis—the Israeli economy could soon begin returning to near-normal conditions.
