Iran launches 40 missiles at US, Israeli targets

 

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Wednesday they had launched around 40 missiles at US and Israeli targets, on the fifth day of war in the Middle East.
“Several hours ago, the 17th wave of operation Honest Promise 4 was conducted with the launch of 40 missiles by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ aerospace forces,” a statement read on state TV said, without giving further details.

The official stressed that 'we are seeing Iran's ability to hit us and our partners is declining, while our combat power, on the other hand, is building.
'At the start of the war on Saturday, Israel's military estimated that Iran had around 2,500 ballistic missiles. In addition to the missiles fired by Iran, many missiles are likely to have been destroyed in bombing raids by the US and Israeli militaries since then.
