this is a moment of heightened tensions in the middle east as we see whether and how israel will act. at verify, we will continue to monitor the situation closely. shashankjoshi is defence editor for the economist, he gave his assessment of iran's tactics with this latest attack. i think there were about 331 missiles — projectiles — fired. of those, about a third were ballistic missiles. ballistic missiles fly in very different ways. they fly in parabolic arcs, unlike cruise missiles or drones, which fly relatively flat trajectories inside the atmosphere much more slowly. ballistic missiles are much more likely to penetrate air defenses and get through, and they leave much less warning time. but i think it's notable that only a third of these weapons were ballistic missiles. they were probably targeted at israeli military bases, including the base that israel used to launch f—35 planes that conducted the original attack on the iranian consulate in lebanon. and so there was a kind of symmetry to this. but had iran really wanted to cause more damage, had iran really sought to over
