As day 4 of the war between Israel and the USA against Iran is starting, here is a new map update. The US and Israeli air forces continued to gain total air control above Iran yesterday, alowing them to bomb tens of missile launchers, rear bases and command centers, especially in Tehran.
However, Iran continued to strikes back accross the Middle East with multiple drones and missiles, with some of them reaching critical US bases. Yesterday, Hezbollah joined the fight in Lebanon, followed by multiple Israeli airstrikes in the country. In Irak and Bahrain, two Shia majority states, part of the population protested around the US embassies.
The situation in the Middle East is worsening. The USA called all their citizens from every country in the region to leave, while Iran expanded their drone and missile strikes into Saudi Arabia, striking the crucial Ras Tanura/ARAMCO reffinery, as well as US embassy in Riad. Iranian strikes in Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Cyprus and Israel continued, followed by a strong regional reaction. Some of the regional actors (Qatar and UAE) published data of the Iranian strikes (most of them shot down), while the numbers remains uncertain for other states. In Kuwait, 3 american F16 were shot down by error in the morning.
Yesterday, if US and Israeli strikes concentrated in Tehran, I added additionnal targeted cities to the map, including coastline cities and rear bases. Satellite images confirmed massive US/ISR strikes on Tabriz, Natanz, Bandar Abbas and Konarak.
Some points :
▫️Despite 4 days of shelling, the Islamic Republic didn't move, the Iranian people is still not on the streets
▫️Iranian counter-strikes are still ongoing, with one big question concerning the munition stocks
▫️Gumf countries and Israel may soon be short on air-defense missiles and strike elements, 20 US cargo planes are en route for the region.
