The United States and Israel have repeatedly boasted about airstrikes in their current war with Iran. In Week 1, they claimed the destruction of 75 per cent of Iran’s missile launchers. By Week 2, they had reduced Iranian missile fire by 90 per cent and said the war was “already won in many ways.”
And yet, Iran keeps damaging refineries and blocking tankers from crossing the Strait of Hormuz.
The country has certainly suffered many tactical losses. But its missiles and drones have been strategically successful.
