DID Press: In the third week of the conflict, United States officials claimed that the majority of Iran’s missile capabilities had been destroyed. Former President Donald Trump cited 90 percent, while his Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, claimed 92 percent.
However, recent developments suggest these assertions do not match on-the-ground reality. Hours ago, Israeli defense systems including THAAD, Arrow-3, and Patriot were forced to fire numerous multimillion-dollar interceptors to counter Iranian ballistic missiles.
This event challenges Washington’s narrative of the “destruction of Iran’s missile capability.”
