Iran attack on Israel, Missile testing

Western Sources Confirm: This is the Reason for the Delay in the Iranian Attack

A Western security source has revealed that Iran conducted 13 missile launch tests to assess the readiness of its missile system as part of preparations for a potential attack on Israel. According to the report, these tests were carried out following the failure of nearly half of the missiles fired in the previous attack in April.

The Western security source disclosed today (Tuesday) that during August, Iran conducted 13 missile launch tests to evaluate its system's functionality in preparation for a response to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. This information was reported today by the website "Israel Hayom."

According to the report, Iran decided to perform these tests prior to the actual attack due to the high failure rate of missiles launched in their previous strike on Israel on April 14. The security source, who is involved in efforts to thwart Iran's retaliation plans, confirmed that about half of the missiles Iran fired that night failed to reach Israel.

It is also claimed that one of the reasons for the high failure rate is a sophisticated and long-term covert countermeasure operation conducted by Iran’s adversaries, likely Israel in cooperation with the U.S. and other Western countries. The source stated, “Part of the explanation is poor materials and quality control on the part of the Iranians, but there were also 'additional reasons.'”

“In the days following the attack, the Iranians believed Israel was lying and did not realize that, aside from the minor damage to the Negev base, they had not succeeded in hitting Israel at all and their attack had actually failed,” the source said. “It was only after some time that they understood what really happened that night, and since then, they have been in a process of learning and adapting. After the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, as part of preparations for a new attack against Israel, they conducted 13 missile tests on their territory to check their functionality and identify any issues.”
