“Iran’s missile capabilities are difficult to defeat decisively”: US expresses doubts about the scenario of a decisive strike

Washington, DC – The New York Times has expressed doubt about the United States’ ability to completely destroy Iran’s missile capabilities. It asserted that any military confrontation might not achieve the stated goal of eliminating this complex system.

The newspaper explained that Iran’s missile program is highly flexible, relying on a widespread deployment of launch sites and underground fortifications. This makes targeting it comprehensively extremely difficult.

It added that Iran has developed defensive and offensive strategies that reduce the effectiveness of conventional strikes. These include the use of mobile sites and hidden facilities, which complicates the calculations for any potential military action.

The report indicated that any large-scale attack could lead to unpredictable Iranian responses. These responses might include targeting American interests or allies in the region, potentially opening the door to a broader regional escalation.

In the same vein, the newspaper warned that relying on a swift military victory may be unrealistic given the current balance of power. It emphasized that diplomatic solutions remain the least costly and most sustainable option for dealing with this complex issue.
