Iran can sustain missile fire for weeks, Israeli officials warn — Israel has limited sway on Trump's deadline
A senior Israeli security official said in a closed meeting that Iran can sustain its current missile rate for weeks, citing 'sufficient launchers and operational cells.' Channel 12 also reports Israel expects to be notified before any ceasefire but believes its ability to influence Trump's decision is currently limited. Netanyahu spoke with Rubio today on Israel's red lines. Ceasefire could come at any moment but gaps remain and escalation is still viable.
Actor responses
Senior Israeli security official (closed meeting): Iran has 'sufficient launchers and operational cells to pace and prolong attacks' and can sustain current missile fire rate for weeks. Israel expects ceasefire notice from US but has limited influence on Trump's Friday deadline decision.
Netanyahu spoke with Rubio today, reiterating Israel's red lines on any emerging deal. The US has not publicly addressed Israeli assessments of Iran's remaining missile capacity.
Iranian missile capacity assessed by Israeli officials as sufficient to sustain weeks of current fire. Iran launched 9 salvos on Day 27 alone. The assessment suggests Iran's production and storage targets at Parchin, Isfahan, Kermanshah, and Dezful have not yet materially degraded its operational launch capability.
