Iran Launches the Sixth Wave of Attacks! Missiles Pour into Haifa Port like Rain, Penetrating Israel's Air Defense Instantly

In the early hours of June 15th, the night sky over the Middle East was torn apart by the contrails of missiles as the conflict between Iran and Israel entered a new phase. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps launched a dense assault on the Haifa refinery and port in northern Israel, while the Israeli Air Force retaliated by striking a refinery and oil depot in the western part of Tehran.

Iran's "True Commitment 3" operation is a textbook example of a saturation strike. Multiple batches of missiles rained down like a heavy downpour, with 20 missiles hitting the Haifa refinery within just 20 seconds without any interception. Israel's much-vaunted "Iron Dome" and "David's Sling" missile defense systems all failed to function. Residents in high-rise buildings were even able to calmly film the attack scenes from their windows.

Behind this unusual phenomenon is Iran's carefully designed tactical combination. By coordinating multiple locations and launching multiple waves of missiles simultaneously, Iran used a "time difference + quantity advantage" to block Israel's air defense fire channels. When dozens of missiles, drones, and loitering munitions all streaked through the night sky at the same time, Israel's small territory simply couldn't deploy enough air defense positions. The missile defense systems became paralyzed as they ran out of ammunition and were overwhelmed by the number of targets.

It is also worth noting that Iran's missile technology is making a leap forward. Judging from the attack footage, the violent explosion at the Weizmann Institute of Science was caused by a ton-class warhead. The high-precision strike turned the research facility into ruins in an instant. This means that Iran is not only increasing the destructive power of its missiles but also making progress in guidance systems and penetration technology. Faced with the high-speed dive of liquid rocket heavy warheads, Israel's terminal interception system completely failed. The once "mythical" missile defense system revealed its vulnerable nature under saturation attack.

Israel's defense weaknesses are also thought-provoking. The lack of response from the air defense system and the failure to organize civilian evacuation reflect serious flaws in military deployment. Some analysts pointed out that before launching attacks on Iran, Israel did not fully assess the counterattack capabilities of its opponent. The insufficient stockpile of anti-missile ammunition and the lack of combat plans led to its rapid passivity in high-intensity confrontation. This underestimation of the enemy made Israel appear at a loss when suffering heavy blows on its own territory.

The strategic significance of this missile exchange goes far beyond the battlefield itself. By adopting a war of attrition strategy, Iran is gradually changing the balance of power: continuously consuming the ammunition stockpiles of Israel's and the US' missile defense systems, weakening their long-term defensive capabilities; attacking key infrastructure causing civilian crises and shaking Israel's social stability; and the deterrence brought by technological breakthroughs may reshape the military balance in the Middle East.

For Israel, how to break the dilemma of saturation strikes and rebuild its air defense system will determine whether it can stand firm in the long-term confrontation. The flames of war in the Middle East is still spreading. This missile defense battle is not only a contest of military strength between the two countries but also a clash of modern warfare concepts. Iran used saturation strikes to tear apart the "Iron Dome myth", proving that in today's world where missile technology is widespread, numerical superiority and tactical innovation are enough to counter advanced defense systems. Israel's lesson, on the other hand, warns the world that any military action must be based on a comprehensive assessment of the opponent and a sound defense system.
