SAEDNEWS: Zionists have admitted that the Iron Dome was incapable of destroying even a single Iranian missile during Tehran's retaliatory attack on the Israeli regime in April, dubbed "Operation True Promise.

Zionist Officials Acknowledge Iron Dome's Failure to Intercept Iranian Missiles

According to SAEDNEWS, Moti Shefer, an Israeli expert in space engineering, has labeled the Iron Dome as one of the biggest deceptions the world has ever seen. According to Shefer, during the recent Operation True Promise, the Israeli air defense system failed to intercept a single Iranian missile, despite deploying 500 missiles from the Iron Dome.

He raises a compelling point, suggesting that the Israeli military spokesperson might either be misinformed or intentionally misleading the public. This assertion raises questions about the reliability of the air defense systems touted by the Israeli regime.

Shefer also highlighted the detrimental impact of missile attacks from Hezbollah, which resulted in significant damage. He criticized the inability of Israeli officials to effectively manage this situation, underscoring the challenges they face in responding to such threats.

The context of these claims draws from the early hours of April 14, when the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force launched a series of missiles and drones targeting military installations within occupied territories. This operation was a direct response to an Israeli airstrike on the Iranian embassy's consular section in Damascus on April 1.

In a revealing interview with the Iranian daily ‘Iran’ earlier this year, Major General Gholam Ali Rashid, commander of Khatam al-Anbia Headquarters, detailed the scale of the Iranian forces' counteroffensive. He noted that the operation was executed by a single division of the IRGC Aerospace Force, which utilized only 20% of its offensive capabilities during the operation.

For context, Rashid highlighted that while the IRGC operated with limited resources, the United States, NATO, and the Israeli regime had mobilized a significant air force, preparing 240 fighter jets along with a robust network of missile defense systems in the Mediterranean and Red Seas.

Despite the overwhelming military preparations on the opposing side, the Iranian commanders determined that the operation effectively served its purpose of retaliating against the Israeli regime. The general indicated that the remaining 80% of their offensive capability is still available for future responses if deemed necessary.

Rashid also drew parallels between the backing provided to the Israeli regime by the United States, the UK, France, and other European nations, likening it to the historical Crusades, suggesting a pattern of foreign intervention and support reminiscent of past conflicts.

As the geopolitical landscape continues to evolve, the discourse around military capabilities, deception, and international alliances remains both complex and crucial for understanding the dynamics at play in the region.
