I thought the Iranians were defeated and helpless. I was told the Israelis had an iron dome and couldn’t be hit by missiles.

Based on reports as of March 24, 2026, the conflict has seen a significant decrease in the daily volume of Iranian missile strikes compared to the opening days of the war, yet smaller-scale, targeted attacks continue. IDF Data shows that 90% of Iranian missiles fired at Israel have been intercepted.

Now I wonder who told you that Iron Dome was infallible, and why you’d be surprised that a man made system wasn’t perfect.

Shades of last June when Bibi was begging Iran to stop launching missles at Tel Aviv and Haifa, after the much ballyhooed Iron Dome system took a sh!t after a day and a half of operation. With Tel Aviv and Haifa off-line, Israels economy is pretty much doo-doo.

Iran has 31 military groups that are ‘doing their own thing’ after the attack. If I understand it right, you would have to deal with them separately.

Iran is administratively divided into 31 provinces, each managed by a governor-general and acting as a first-level division. Recent military developments suggest a restructuring into 31 autonomous, province-based units for defense.
