President Ebrahim Raisi spoke Wednesday at an annual army parade that was moved to a barracks north of the capital, Tehran, from its usual venue on a highway in the city’s southern outskirts. Iranian authorities gave no explanation for its relocation, and state television didn’t broadcast it live, as it has in previous years.
Iran launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel over the weekend in response to an apparent Israeli strike on Iran’s embassy compound in Syria on April 1 that killed 12 people, including two Iranian generals.
Israel, with help from the United States, the United Kingdom, neighboring Jordan and other nations, successfully intercepted nearly all the missiles and drones.

So they’ll send hundreds more drones and missiles and kill 12 more people?
Yes. Over and over. Turns out cheap drones that can kill you are cheap and can kill you, while missiles are pretty expensive that take them down.
It could be quite a bit more dire, actually. Think about the significance of Iran gathering all that detection, location, and performance data on all the AA, ABM, air superiority, and radar assets that popped off a billion dollars’ worth of interception.
They targeted military installations and gave prior warning. 12 people dying from that is a result of Isreal not protecting their own people. It’s not indicative of Irans capacity to attack.
