Iranian drone and missile activity has dropped sharply as the US pushes to expand air superiority

"Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a Pentagon press briefing that Iran's theater ballistic missile shots fired are down 86% since Saturday, with a 23% decrease in the last 24 hours. And Iran's one-way attack drone launches are down 73%, the general said, offering the Pentagon's first public update on the status of Tehran's retaliatory fire."

"Since fighting began, the US and Israel have targeted Iranian missile launchers and drone infrastructure, according to officials and satellite imagery of damage across the country, reflecting an effort to restrict Tehran's ability to retaliate to the offensive strikes."

"The Iranian armed forces have launched over 500 ballistic missiles and 2,000 drones at countries across the Middle East, including all of the Gulf States and Israel, as well as US military bases across the region. Several of these munitions have slipped past air defenses, and a strike in Kuwait killed at least six American service members and wounded others."

Despite the reduction, some munitions penetrated air defenses. US and allied forces have intercepted hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones, though officials confirm sufficient interceptor stockpiles remain available.
