🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱🚨 BREAKING: U.S. Intel Warns Iran Now Has 2,000 Ballistic Missiles — Outpacing Israeli Defenses
According to U.S. intelligence estimates, Iran possesses approximately 2,000 ballistic missiles, many of which are capable of carrying warheads with over 2,000 pounds of explosives, a senior U.S. official confirmed. Israel is within range of a large portion of this arsenal.
🔺 Key Details:
Since the October 2024 Iranian missile strike on Israel, Iran has ramped up missile production to an estimated 50 ballistic missiles per month. U.S. officials assess that Iran’s strategic objective is to outproduce Israel’s missile defense interceptors, potentially overwhelming air defense systems like Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow-3.
This alarming development comes amid heightened fears of an imminent Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities and a possible regional war.
🇮🇱🇮🇷🇺🇸🚨 BREAKING: Israel Poised to Strike Iran; U.S. Begins Regional Drawdown — CBS News
Multiple sources tell CBS News that Israel is now fully ready to launch an operation against Iran, with U.S. officials alerted to the imminence of the strike. The anticipated Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure has triggered emergency U.S. evacuations and high-level security alerts across the Middle East.
🛑 Key developments:
The U.S. State Department ordered non-emergency personnel out of Iraq, while the Pentagon approved voluntary departures for military families across the region. The U.S. fears Iran will retaliate against American bases in Iraq and possibly elsewhere in response to an Israeli strike. President Donald Trump confirmed the danger, stating: “It could be a dangerous place… We’ll see what happens. We’re not going to allow [Iran] to have nuclear weapons.” Iran’s Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh warned that if conflict erupts, the IRGC will target all U.S. bases in host countries.
🌍 Wider impact:
The UK Maritime Trade Organization has advised ships to exercise extreme caution in the Strait of Hormuz, Persian Gulf, and Gulf of Oman, citing risk of military escalation. Ongoing nuclear talks between U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi are still officially scheduled for Sunday, though the atmosphere remains volatile.
📉 Background:
Iran is now enriching uranium to 60% purity, just short of weapons-grade, and has amassed over 400kg of such material, according to the IAEA. President Trump, who exited the 2015 nuclear deal in his first term, has insisted on zero enrichment — a demand Tehran has rejected.
This looming confrontation marks the most dangerous moment in U.S.-Iran-Israel relations in years, as diplomatic options narrow and military preparations accelerate.
