5:30 pm EST: Admiral Brad Cooper, head of U.S. Central Command, claims that “U.S. combat power is building as Iranian combat power declines,” including a 90 percent decrease in ballistic missile retaliation and and 86 percent fall in drone attacks, figures impossible to verify. Reports and video from the region show a relentless barrage of Iranian missiles and drones still raining down on Israel and the Gulf Arab states. This includes a direct hit on the major oil refinery in Bahrain earlier today.
5:15 pm EST: The drone and missile war, the first phase of this war, will come down to whether Iran runs out of ballistic missiles and drones before Israel and the U.S. run out of interceptor and offensive missiles.
