Iran's missile program's effectiveness questioned after missile failures in an April attack on Israel.

A recent analysis indicates that Iran's missile program may be less effective than previously believed, particularly following an April drone-and-missile assault on Israel. Many projectiles failed or were intercepted by a U.S.-led coalition. The Emad missile's accuracy was found to be worse than expected, raising concerns about its utility for conventional military operations and suggesting it may serve better as a terror weapon. Iran continues to threaten retaliation for the assassination of a Hamas leader.
