An Associated Press analysis says Iran's missile attack on US bases in the Middle East began with strikes aimed at American air defense systems, allowing follow-up missiles to damage aircraft and buildings. The finding suggests the barrage was more effective and carefully sequenced than initially assessed, prompting discussion about the vulnerability of US defenses and what the damage means for tensions between Washington and Tehran.
Why now: The fresh analysis of Iran's attack on US bases offers new detail on how much damage was actually inflicted, fueling debate over US air defense failures and escalation risks.
