Iran’s Missiles Increase in Variety, Power and Penetration of IDF Defenses
The IDF and its ‘Iron Dome’ fall to an admitted 65% capacity of neutralizing incoming Missiles, while its stock of Arrow Interceptors grows short without possibility of re-supply

The IDF and its ‘Iron Dome’ fall to an admitted 65% capacity of neutralizing incoming Missiles, while its stock of Arrow Interceptors grows short without possibility of re-supply
China and Russia defend Iran’s freedom and present a ‘4-Point Plan’ (Xi Jinping) or ‘options’ for ceasefire and stability
Great majorities in the West want peace instead of support for the IDF’s sneak-attack
Benjamin Netanyahu continues to angle for the U.S. to “join” this War that the IDF started
Donald Trump announces on June 20 afternoon that he’ll decide whether to “go” within two weeks, not the 48 hours of deadline that he demanded yesterday
