Israel carried out five times more strikes on Iran than vice versa: report

Israel conducted nearly five times more airstrikes on Iran compared to Tehran’s missile attacks on Israeli targets, according to new data released by two US-based defence think tanks.

The Critical Threats Project and the Institute for the Study of War (CTP-ISW) reported that since Israel’s offensive began on June 13, it has conducted 197 reported or confirmed airstrikes on Iranian territory. 

In comparison, Iran has launched 39 reported or confirmed ballistic missile strikes or interceptor impacts on Israeli targets.

The report also highlights a “sharp decline” in the scale of Iran’s recent missile barrages. Analysts attribute this decrease to successful Israeli strikes on Iranian missile launchers and storage sites, limiting Iran’s offensive capabilities.

The findings came amid escalating regional tensions following Israel's unprecedented air campaign targeting key Iranian military and infrastructure sites. 

Iran, while retaliating, appeared increasingly constrained by the sustained Israeli assault.

CTP-ISW warned that the imbalance in strike numbers may indicate further escalation if no diplomatic intervention occurs. 

The report underscores the evolving dynamics of the conflict and raises concerns about its long-term impact on regional stability and global security. 

Notably, Israel and Iran continued their missile exchanges for a sixth consecutive day. Iranian strikes targeted buildings that housed Israeli intelligence network and military installations.
