The missile arsenals of Israel and Iran represent a significant aspect of their ongoing strategic rivalry. Iran possesses a diverse and growing inventory of ballistic and cruise missiles, some with ranges capable of reaching Israel. These missiles are often viewed as a key component of Iran's deterrence strategy. Israel, on the other hand, maintains a sophisticated missile defense system, including the Iron Dome, David's Sling, and Arrow systems, designed to intercept incoming threats. Additionally, Israel is believed to possess its own advanced offensive missile capabilities, creating a complex and potentially volatile dynamic in the region. The development and deployment of these missile systems contribute to heightened tensions and concerns about escalation between the two countries.
