The spokesperson for Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters warned that if any country sends military or radar equipment, whether by ship or plane, to support the occupation forces, it will be seen as taking part in the aggression, making those shipments a legitimate target for their armed forces.
The spokesperson stated that, based on Iranian military intelligence, the occupation forces have suffered major losses in their defensive and radar systems and are now dealing with critical shortages in ammunition and supplies.
The spokesperson highlighted that the predicament "Israel" is in is a result of the precise and destructive missile and drone strikes launched by Iran’s armed forces.
'Israel' risks running out of interceptor missiles: WSJ
The Israeli regime is rapidly exhausting its stockpile of Arrow 3 interceptors, the critical component of its long-range missile defense, The Wall Street Journal reported on June 21. As persistent Iranian missile salvos stretch Tel Aviv’s air defenses to their limits and push the US into urgent efforts to backfill its ally’s deteriorating protective capabilities.
With Israeli missile defense stocks running critically low, the US has responded by dispatching another Navy destroyer to the eastern Mediterranean, significantly bolstering its regional fleet that now stands ready to counter potential missile threats originating from Iran.
Timur Kadyshev, a researcher at the University of Hamburg, explained to WSJ that losing Arrow 3 capabilities creates significant challenges, since intercepting missiles becomes much more difficult when defense systems are forced to engage targets only during their final approach, leaving minimal reaction time.
Financial pressure mounts on 'Israel' amid faceoff with Iranian missiles
WSJ reported on June 20 that "Israel" is facing severe financial pressure from its military confrontation with Iran, with current estimates showing the conflict is costing the Israeli economy hundreds of millions of dollars each day as the fighting continues to escalate.
The staggering costs stem primarily from operating advanced missile defense systems to thwart Iranian attacks, with military analysts warning that just firing interceptors could drain as much as $200 million from "Israel's" coffers every single day of continued conflict.
Compounding these defense costs are massive outlays for ammunition stockpiles, continuous air operations, and the widespread destruction of Israeli infrastructure from Iranian missile impacts, with early damage assessments suggesting reconstruction efforts will require a minimum investment of $400 million before accounting for additional indirect economic losses.
Iran’s retaliatory barrage of more than 400 missiles in recent days has laid bare the staggering financial burden of countering such overwhelming firepower, with each David’s Sling interception burning through approximately $700,000. The space-based Arrow 3 system consumes up to $4 million per launch, and even the aging Arrow 2 interceptors drain about $3 million from "Israel’s" military budget every time they’re fired.
