Israel’s public broadcaster Kan reported that during the war with Iran, several Iranian missiles successfully struck key targets, causing damage and casualties that were never officially disclosed by Israeli authorities.

The report states that these impacts were deliberately excluded from public reporting and managed within what Israeli officials have framed as a “success narrative,” aimed at portraying the conflict as a defensive victory.

Despite political and military efforts by Tel Aviv to present Israel’s air defense systems as fully effective, Kan acknowledged that Iranian missiles demonstrated high operational efficiency on the battlefield and produced tangible effects.

The Israeli broadcaster emphasized that the real-world effectiveness of Iranian missiles was a field reality that did not appear in Israel’s official wartime narrative, leaving the Israeli public largely unaware of the extent of the damage.

This admission comes amid continued Israeli efforts to manage the psychological, security, and media consequences of the unprecedented war with Iran.

On June 13, 2025, Israel launched a blatant and unprovoked aggression against Iran while Washington and Tehran were in a process of nuclear negotiations. The Israeli attack triggered a 12-day war that killed at least 1,064 people in the country, including military commanders, nuclear scientists, and ordinary civilians.

The United States also entered the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites in a grave violation of international law.

In response, the Iranian Armed Forces targeted strategic sites across the occupied territories as well as the Al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia.

On June 24, Iran, through its successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, managed to impose a halt to the aggression.

The 12-day war between Israel and Iran was one of the most costly and failed periods in the Zionist regime’s history. Statistics and official statements indicate that Israel’s economic costs were reported between $12 and $20 billion, but comprehensive estimates suggest $40 billion.

The main costs included:

Direct military costs: $12.2 billion

Economic disruption and business closures: $21.4 billion

Damages from Iranian attacks: $4.5 billion

Evacuation and reconstruction costs: $2 billion

Even considering official Israeli statistics, these figures illustrate severe economic, military, and social pressures on Israel. Long-term consequences—including budget deficits, reduced economic growth, damage to tourism, emigration of specialists, and declining investor confidence—remain. Ultimately, the 12-day war proved that Israel’s 20-year plan to confront Iran failed, forcing Tel Aviv to seek a ceasefire to prevent further losses and economic collapse. This account, based on admissions from Israelis themselves and their media sources, provides a clear picture of the real dimensions of defeat and damage, showing that despite all claims and rhetoric, the Zionist regime was almost paralyzed under the pressure of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
