In this article, we’ll break down the Iron Dome and its functionality as a crucial part of Israel’s defensive network, and also shed some light on Iran’s often overlooked defensive capabilities, and see how both can be used in the ongoing conflict and future conflagrations. Hundreds of Missiles allegedly launched by Iran have targeted Israel, prompting questions about the long-term effectiveness of the vaunted Iron Dome . As June 14, 2025, Iran has reportedly launched a barrage of missiles in retaliation for earlier strikes by Israel. Israel’s Iron Dome defense system has a 90 percent success rate, but militant groups and Iranian rockets have breached it. A new laser could change everything. There's a specific kind of math that could determine just how much longer the war can go — how many long-range missiles Iran has versus how many missile interceptors Israel has to shoot them down. How has Iran managed to breach Israel’s Iron Dome air defence system? For many years, Israel’s multilayered air defence system has repelled missile attacks from Hamas and Hezbollah. On April 13, Iran launched a brief but high-intensity air attack on Israel, reportedly firing more than 300 drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles primarily aimed at Israeli military. The escalating conflict following Israel's surprise attack on Iran on 13 June, has revealed gaps in Israel's Iron Dome defense. The waves of retaliatory strikes from Iran has seen some of Iran ' s ballistic missiles pierce the missile defence system to hit key targets. They stated that the strike involved Fattah-1 hypersonic missiles and boldly claimed that Iranian forces now have full control of the airspace over Israeli-occupied areas.
