Israel claims air superiority over Iran after several days of airstrikes targeting Iranian air defenses, nuclear facilities, and military infrastructure. The strikes, utilizing relatively inexpensive glide bombs, have significantly degraded Iran's ability to retaliate, despite Iran launching over 370 ballistic missiles and numerous drones. While Iran's attacks have caused casualties and forced Israel to expend defensive resources, Israel maintains its operational advantage, having reportedly destroyed a third of Tehran's missile launchers. US officials confirm assisting in the interception of Iranian missiles but deny offensive participation.
