DID Press: Military assessments indicate that every missile fired from Iranian soil toward Israel encounters one of the most complex and dense defense networks in the world along its path; a multi-layered network that starts from the Persian Gulf and extends to the Mediterranean and Israeli airspace.
This route includes a set of radars, air defense systems, military bases, and ready fighter jets belonging to the United States, Britain, France, NATO, and Israel. According to this list, an Iranian missile must pass through the following obstacles before reaching its target:
– U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf
– Israeli radars in Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan
– Air defense systems of U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria
– Radars of the U.S. and its allies in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, the UAE, and Bahrain
– British radars in Oman – NATO radar systems in Turkey
– Jordanian air defense
– American, British, and French fighter jets in the skies of Jordan and Israel
– Air defenses of American ships in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean
– British air bases in the region
After entering Israeli airspace, the missile faces another layer of advanced systems:
The American TPY‑2 radar, THAAD system, Arrow 1 and 2, David’s Sling, and Iron Dome.
According to military analysts, passing through such a network indicates the complexity of deterrence equations in the region; because this route encompasses one of the most expensive and advanced defense shields in the world.
Nevertheless, Iranian missiles have succeeded in passing through these layers to hit the critical targets in Israel; this means that “It was not you who threw when you threw, but Allah threw!
