🚀 Iran vs Israel: Missile Stockpiles & Air Superiority ✈️ | The Duran – Forbidden News - video Dailymotion

Forbidden News

In this strategic breakdown from The Duran, experts dive into the heart of the escalating Iran-Israel conflict, focusing on two critical military components: missile stockpile strength and air superiority ⚔️. With Iran launching waves of ballistic and cruise missiles, and Israel relying on its advanced air force and layered missile defenses, the battlefield is quickly becoming a test of endurance and precision.  As Israel's Iron Dome and David’s Sling systems show signs of fatigue, and Iran demonstrates surprising accuracy and volume in its missile salvos, this analysis questions: Who really holds the edge in sustained conflict? And how long can either side maintain operational momentum?  This episode also explores how U.S. and allied involvement could shift the balance — or make things worse 🌍🔥.  #IranVsIsrael #MissileStockpiles #AirSuperiority #TheDuran #ForbiddenNews #MiddleEastConflict #BallisticMissiles #IronDome #DavidSling #IsraelAirForce #IranMissiles #MilitaryBalance #Geopolitics #USInvolvement #DefenseCrisis #UnfilteredNews #BreakingAnalysis #WW3Risk #StayInformed #StrategicWarfare #MiddleEastTensions

00:00All right, Alexander, let's talk about the fog of war between Iran and Israel in this military

00:09conflict. And it is very difficult to get a clear picture as to what is happening.

00:17Trump posted on Truth Social a couple of days ago that the United States has, well, we, he said we,

00:25he said we have air superiority in the United States. He said we, which is an interesting

00:31choice of words. You're hearing that a lot now from the US government, even from people in Congress.

00:38They're saying we now a lot more, more often when referencing Israel and Iran. But he said we have

00:47air superiority. Does, does we, do we have air superiority as Trump puts it? Does the United

00:57States and Israel have air superiority? Because the news that I'm, I'm getting is that, that missiles

01:05are, are, are being launched from both sides and they're just doing, and a lot of damage is being

01:11done by both sides. What do you, what do you think is going on? Well, I, I, I get it. First of all,

01:18say, going back to the first part of your question, that there is a massive amount of misinformation

01:24and propaganda being spread by both sides. It is also the case that after the first day,

01:34when the big attacks happened, the Israelis launched their big strike on the night of the,

01:41uh, the 12th of June and over the course of the 13th of June, the Iranians then launched

01:48their big strike, um, on the, um, on the 13th of June and in the night. But ever since then,

01:55each side has been gradually tightening up its media control and the Iranians now have been clamping down

02:02on the internet. They've considerably reduced the internet coverage across Iran. And the Israelis

02:10are now imposing censorship, much more assertive censorship than they had, than they did previously.

02:16So all of this is creating a great deal of difficulty in understanding exactly what is going on.

02:21But you're absolutely correct. The reality is this, as far as I can tell,

02:27the Israelis are able to launch strikes against targets inside Iran. Now,

02:37there is some claims circulating that, in fact, these strikes are being launched mostly by Israeli

02:47air for aircraft operating outside Iranian airspace, that the Iranians, the Israelis fly close to

02:55Iranian airspace, but they don't enter Iran itself because the air defense system, the Iranian air

03:03defense system, uh, has to some extent got its act together over the last couple of days and that it's

03:10the strikes are being mostly conducted from Iraqi territory. And if you look at the map of where the

03:19strikes are the most of the Israeli strikes are, they seem to be overwhelmingly concentrated in Western Iran.

03:27And that is consistent with the strikes being carried out by Israeli aircraft operating from Iraqi airspace.

03:37The Iranians, the Israelis do send drones over Iran. And some of these are strike drones.

03:46But the Iranians finally seem to be succeeding in shooting some of these drones down.

03:52So there is that side. The Iranians for their part are able to launch missiles against Israel.

04:03And the Israelis were clearly very embarrassed by reports that were starting to appear over the last couple

04:09of days about the ineffectiveness of their air defense system. But the result is that they've tightened up

04:18very, very considerably. And they've been trying to spread stories playing down the significance

04:23of the Iranian strikes. But the fact is that the Iranian strikes are still continuing. And we are starting to get reports

04:33in the American media, in the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post, that the Israelis are indeed,

04:41exactly as we predicted on these programs, running out of air defense interceptors.

04:48So it may be that the reality is that the Israelis do not have the undisputed and unchallenged aerial

04:56dominance over Iran, that they are leading us all to think. And that the reality is that,

05:03yes, they can strike targets in Iran, but from a distance. And that Iran is able to strike targets

05:09at Israel, obviously from a distance also.

05:12Do you have any idea of Iran's situation with missiles?

05:18Nobody does.

05:19Nobody does.

05:20We have completely contradictory stories here. Some say that they have a stockpile of up to 40,000 missiles.

05:26I mean, I've seen that figure. Others say there's a stockpile of 3,000 or 2,000 missiles.

05:33Nobody knows. And the Iranians, for obvious reasons, are keeping this all very much to themselves.

05:40So we don't know. There is so much about the situation that we don't know. I'll give an example

05:47of the misreporting that there is. The Israelis said that they'd expected that in the first days of an

05:59attack on Iran, the Iranians would launch strikes and 5,000 Israelis would be killed. I'm going to say

06:05straight away, I don't believe that story. I don't believe that the Israelis ever imagined

06:10that they would lose that number of civilians in the first days of the battle, of any kind of battle

06:16with Iran. If they really believed that, they wouldn't have launched the battle in the first

06:20place. And what was the point of creating this elaborate air defense system if they really thought

06:26that was going to happen? Then they've also claimed that only 20 Iranian missiles have got through

06:34and only two drones have done so. But when you actually read the article that made that claim,

06:43they said only 20 Iranian missiles got through and hit civilian areas. So Iran isn't just striking

06:51civilian areas. They're also attacking military facilities. So even if that figure of 20 missiles

06:57getting through is true, it doesn't tell you all everything about what the Iranians might be hitting

07:06elsewhere in Israel. But how deep, how large Iranian capabilities are, I don't know. We have no

07:17information about that. But we do have some information from the American media, which I suspect is well

07:26sourced, that Israel is indeed starting to run out of air defense interceptors. That is the only piece

07:34of information that I would consider reliable out of all the masses of information we have seen over

07:40the last couple of hours. And one report said that the Israelis can keep up

07:49the level of air defense they have at the moment for roughly 12 more days. But after that,

07:55serious problems will begin. If Iran is able to continue to launch strikes, which we don't know.

08:03Yeah. So my final question is, Israel may have 10 to 12 days for as far as air defense and missiles go,

08:15but they have the United States at their back. So the next question is, how much does the US have,

08:23given everything they've poured into Ukraine and all around the world? Or how much are they willing to use

08:30in the Middle East? Well, they have a lot more than Israel does. I think that's the first thing to say.

08:36But they don't have that much. Now, they do have apparently, there are apparently roughly 3000

08:43Patriot missile interceptors available around the world. The trouble is, not all of them are controlled

08:52or in the ownership of the United States. Apparently, fewer than half of them are. Supposedly,

09:00if a missile is launched against a target, then you need two missile interceptors to have some

09:08confidence of being able to shoot it down. So let's say that the Americans have around 1200

09:16Patriot missile interceptors, then they can perhaps have some hope of shooting down, say,

09:24three to 600 missiles that Iran launches. But does Iran have those 300 to 600 missiles? I mean,

09:36I simply don't know. And the Americans also, of course, have enormous capabilities to strike

09:44missile launch facilities. It seems a lot of these missiles are being launched from underground silos,

09:51but the United States might be much better equipped to destroy those silos. So there's lots of

09:58uncertainties here. The United States also, of course, has a very large stockpile of cruise missiles

10:08missiles that it can launch against Iran. I mean, it can launch huge numbers of Tonahawks against Iran.

10:17But again, the stockpile of these is not unlimited, and they're expensive, and they're not easy to produce,

10:28and, you know, seal production of these cruise missiles. It's not unlimited. And Iran is an

10:35enormous country, as we've discussed many times. So one can imagine that if there's an aerial campaign

10:41against Iran, things will start to get depleted on the American side fairly quickly also. So, you know,

10:50the burn rate in these campaigns can be very high. And the US probably doesn't have the definite

10:59resilience in terms of burn rate, especially if we're talking about Tomahawk missiles. It needs to

11:06keep a significant inventory back in reserve in case it finds itself in conflict with China

11:16at some point in the next few years. So there are limitations on this.

11:21Yeah, exactly. There are limitations on all sides. Okay. We will end the video there at

11:27theduran.locals.com. We are on Rumble Odyssey, BitChute, Telegram, RockFit, and X.

11:31Go to the Duran shop, pick up some merch, like what we are wearing in this video update. The link is in
