The top US general says most of Iran‘s best air defenses are no longer factors, clearing the way for deeper air operations

In October 2024, Israel carried out a significant strike targeting Iran‘s missile production and air defenses, saying it could operate „with greater freedom in Iranian airspace.“

Israel conducted another preemptive strike in June 2025, destroying Iranian air defenses so its air forces could attack Iran‘s nuclear facilities. Days later, the US carried out Operation Midnight Hammer aimed at destroying major Iranian nuclear sites.

After that operation, Caine said it didn‘t look like Iran got a shot off at the strike package. „It appears that Iran‘s surface-to-air missile systems did not see us,“ he said.

„I just don‘t think we‘re there yet,“ Colin Kahl, undersecretary for defense policy, said this week, „The Abrams tank is a very complicated piece of equipment,“ he argued. „It‘s expensive. It‘s hard to train on. It has a jet engine.“

Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said that given the cost to maintain the Abrams, it „just doesn‘t make sense to provide that to the Ukrainians at this moment,“ arguing that the British Challenger tanks and German Leopard tanks were better alternatives.
