Command Structure: The military's leadership was largely decapitated in the initial February 28 strikes, which killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the Defense Minister, the Armed Forces Chief of Staff, and the IRGC Commander. Air Capabilities: Iran is described as "losing air capability day by day". The joint forces have established air dominance, allowing them to operate with "impunity" over Iranian airspace after suppressing most integrated air defenses. Missile and Drone Force: Launcher Attrition: Roughly one-third of Iran's ballistic missile launchers have been destroyed, with another third rendered inoperable. Launch Tempo: Retaliatory missile salvos have declined by approximately 70% to 90% since the start of the conflict. Stockpiles: Estimates suggest Iran has fewer than 160 active launchers and 1,500 missiles remaining.
