Pace of Iran's Strikes Appears to Be Slowing
(New York Times) Abdi Latif Dahir - After nearly two weeks of U.S. and Israeli strikes that have battered Iran's arsenal, the pace of Tehran's attacks appears to be slowing. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that Iran had fired the lowest number of missiles in a 24-hour period since the war began. "Our strikes mean we've made significant progress in reducing the number of missile and drone attacks out of Iran," he said. There are mounting signs that Iran has had to curb its attacks, according to experts, either because of depleted stockpiles or to conserve weaponry in case the war is prolonged. Iran has revealed the sophistication and reach of its weapons and its ability to reach strategic targets with precision, experts say. Iranian weapons have hit at least nine countries since the conflict began, striking energy installations and U.S. military bases, air defenses, and radar systems.
