Iran Claims Destroyed Israeli Radar Systems Eased Strikes on Haifa
Iran says the destruction of Israeli radar systems made attacks on military targets in Haifa easier, as US spending in the Iran operation raises concerns in Congress.
Iranian forces say recent strikes on Israeli military infrastructure have become easier after part of Israel’s radar network was destroyed, according to Mohammad Akraminiya, a representative of the Iranian army.
Akraminiya indicated that a significant portion of the opponent’s radar capabilities had been eliminated, which in turn simplified attacks on military facilities, including bases located in Haifa.
Iran has been carrying out strikes against US military installations across the Middle East as well as targets on Israeli territory in response to an operation conducted by the United States and Israel. The escalation began on February 28, the first day of the conflict, when Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed. A girls’ school in southern Iran was also hit during the attacks. Iranian authorities reported that the overall death toll from the strike exceeded 1,300 people.
Meanwhile, The Washington Post reported that the US military spent ammunition worth roughly $5.6 billion during the first days of its operation against Iran. Citing American officials, the newspaper noted that the rapid consumption of high-tech weaponry has raised concerns among some members of Congress. Lawmakers warn that if the campaign drags on, it could significantly affect the overall combat readiness of the United States.
