Iran rebuilds air defenses, Trump orders strikes for first time after midterm elections

U.S. President Trump said that the U.S. military launched a limited strike on Iran’s air defense facilities on the 6th.

After the defeat in the U.S. midterm elections, U.S. President Trump announced that the U.S. military would launch a new wave of limited strikes against Iranian military targets on the 6th.

Trump pointed out to the media on the 6th that Iran had rebuilt a small-scale air defense force, and the US military therefore spent 5 to 15 minutes launching limited and minor strikes against these targets, and mentioned that negotiations between the United States and Iran are still ongoing.

Faced with accusations that the war in Iran has become a major defeat for the Republican Party in the midterm elections, Trump once again defended his decision-making, emphasizing that the US military has completely destroyed Iran's nuclear program. "If we had not attacked Iran, Israel would cease to exist." "If they had nuclear weapons, they would use them. They would bulldoze the Middle East."

The Associated Press quoted U.S. officials as saying that most of Iran's air defense systems were severely damaged and disabled in June last year and in the early stages of this year's conflict. Over time, Tehran attempted to rebuild its air defense and other military infrastructure. On the other hand, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), which is responsible for the war in the Middle East, issued an announcement offering a bonus of up to 20 million US dollars to solicit information on facilities, equipment, scientific groups and other personnel and other activities related to Iran's nuclear activities.
