Iranian media released footage showing the launch of missiles Tuesday.

October 3, 2024

On Tuesday, Iran carried out a second large-scale missile attack against
Israel. Although the full extent of the damage is not yet clear, U.S.
national security adviser Jake Sullivan said that, overall, the strike was
“defeated and ineffective.” This apparent result, combined with a similar
outcome from the first attack in April, casts doubt on Iran’s
conventionally-armed missile deterrent and raises the question of whether
Iran might become more interested in nuclear weapons to fill the gap.

Our initial analysis describes the details of the operation, explains how
it compared to the April attack, and offers some key takeaways.
