US and Israel bombed Iran to control its arsenal, but warnings say it can be ‘a strategic failure’

Iran is now positioned to fire significantly more long-range missiles at Israel and other Middle Eastern nations. According to CNN, it is because they have been persistent in their efforts to dig out their buried arsenals. Their ongoing effort and rapid success highlight the limitations in the current bombing strategy employed by the United States and Israel.

For several weeks, military strikes successfully restricted Iran’s access to underground missile sites by destroying crucial roads and burying tunnel entrances. However, recent satellite imagery reveals that Iran is using relatively simple equipment, like bulldozers and dump trucks, to undo those efforts. This suggests that Tehran’s missile capabilities can’t be easily destroyed by targeting the entrances to these tunnels alone.
