After nearly four weeks of heavy bombardment by U.S. and Israeli forces, Iran is still able to assail its Persian Gulf neighbors and Israel with daily missile and drone attacks.

As the missile war in the Middle East grinds on — with waves of US and Israeli air strikes on Iran met with daily retaliatory barrages — it has increasingly become a test of sustainability. Iran’s early massive missile attacks have given way to a slower tempo of launches and smaller salvos since the US and Israel launched their war against the Islamic republic on February 28.

Iran’s attempt to strike a US-UK base over 2,000 miles (over 3,000 kilometers) off its coast has renewed questions about Tehran’s military capabilities and how far its missiles can reach.

The missile attack by the Houthis in Yemen marks an escalation of the war in the Middle East and may pose further risks to shipping in the region.

Experts say Iran's military is built to survive, not win conventionally, as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps retains missiles, proxies and naval threats despite U.S. strikes.

Scattering mines around remote missile facilities and launch points would make sense in order to further degrade Iranian launches.
