The Israel-U.S. Strategy against Iran's Missile Arsenal
(Ynet News) Ron Ben-Yishai - In the previous war with Iran in June 2025, Israel struck a missile production and launch network that was not seriously prepared for a surprise attack. Since then, the Iranians dispersed their missile storage and launch systems, making it far more difficult to strike them. Most storage and launch sites are located in the Zagros Mountains in northern and western Iran, where numerous caves have been expanded into missile storage facilities. They often have several entrances, some concealed and camouflaged. Israel Air Force attack drones are primarily operating against these sites. Some drones have been damaged or destroyed. Destroying or sealing the cave facilities requires jet fighters. The Americans are targeting underground "missile cities" with GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs carried by B-2 bombers which primarily take off from the U.S. They are also operating extensively against storage and launch sites east of Qom.
