The updates focus on US and Israeli strikes on Iran and the Axis of Resistance’s response to the strikes. Estimates on the status of Iran’s missile program do not distinguish between the two, which limits the ability to use these estimates to completely understand the status of Iran’s missile program. The rate of Iranian missile fire suggests that Iran’s medium-range ballistic missile force has been significantly degraded. The US military assessed that Iranian missile fire has reduced by around 90 percent since the start of the war. The short-range ballistic missile force has continued to conduct attacks at a steady rate, but the status of the short-range missile force remains unclear.
