Iran’s failed attack on Israel ‘is pretty telling’ about Tehran’s capabilities, DOD says

The Pentagon said Monday that Iran’s failed attack on Israel over the weekend was "pretty telling," considering Tehran’s weapons capabilities.

Ryder said the U.S. had "learned a lot from this," but declined to go into specifics. Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more. 

"I’m sure you can appreciate I’m not going to be in a position to do an after-action report from the podium today, other than to say it’s pretty telling that Iran launched over 300 air threats, and, as I highlighted, 99% of those were knocked down," he said. "So, it is demonstrative of that close coordination and synchronization between the United States and coalition partners when it comes to addressing air defense threats in the region." 

Iran’s attack on Israel late Saturday involved hundreds of drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles launched from Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. It included 110 medium range ballistic missiles, over 30 land attack cruise missiles, and more than 150 drones, per the Pentagon. Ryder said both land and sea aircraft were involved in the attack.
