You can’t hide damage of that significance. Both Israel and Iran lie about the extent of the damages, but damage can be verified. You can’t hide dead commanders or hide from satellite images. We tend to have a good idea of what happened shortly after.
In this case, Iran has admitted to a lot of the damages that Israel claimed and a few other of their claims can be verified with satellite imagery. However, Israel hasn’t admitted to any strategic damage by Iran nor has there been any verification for the damages that aimed for. Iran can say they aimed for something, that doesn’t mean they did. They can claim they hit something, doesn’t mean they did.
I understand being skeptical of Israel because they’re a dubious source, especially when they’re one of the parties involved. That being said, we’re at the point where we can tell that Iran’s missle barrage yesterday didn’t do much.
makes their iron dome useless
Just an FYI, the Iron Dome is not designed to intercept missles. It’s designed to intercept short range rockets and artillery. This means that the Iron Dome probably wasn’t used at all yesterday. Instead, other systems like Arrow, David’s Sling, and THAAD were used since these systems were actually designed to counter missles.
