Israel now realizes damage it inflicted to Iran’s ballistic missile program less severe than initially thought
[IsraelTimes] Israel reportedly believes that the damage it inflicted on Iran’s ballistic missile program during the 12-day June war with the Islamic Republic was less severe than initially assessed.

Iran currently possesses around 2,000 heavy ballistic missiles, roughly the same number it had on the eve of the war.

The IDF’s military intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder shared this information with visiting US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz earlier this week, Al-Monitor reports, indicating that Jerusalem is again urging Washington to act against Iran.

“This is a threat that Israel will not be able to accept for long, and we must coordinate with the Americans the red lines and actions we will take in the future, perhaps even in the near future,” a source familiar with the matter told Al-Monitor. # id) ?>

Yes, but are they accurate since they were hurriedly assembled and, probably, given the usual Middle Eastern inshallah quality control.

3 Was it Trump's initial assessment?

I recall it might have been his military intelligence that was saying all those fantastical things in what some might say was a bid for a peace price.

A grossly negligent stance that will inevitably cause more jewish deaths.
