The scales have now tilted in Iran's favor. For them, this war is a matter of life and death and for their new leader, its of personal revenge. For the US however, the war is still very much an extension of politics. US measures this war in terms of how many civilians and military assets they can bomb, and how much of Iran they reduce to rubble. Iran measures how much they can continue squeeze the identified pressure points, be it the global oil supply, the wealth of the GCC monarchies, the UAE's international status, the wallets of American voters having to pay more at the pump, and by extension how much they will have to pay for just about everything due to global supply disruptions. Now, Iran has found that sweet spot and can continue to squeeze.
Not only has this war proven to be not Venezuela, but its not another one of Trump's pump and dumps either. With the number of security entanglements and forces deployed, Trump can't just call it a day to manipulate the markets. Finishing the job was supposed to be just a hollow marketing tagline for the Donroe Doctrine, but this time Trump unfortunately picked an enemy who's willing to meet him on those terms.

Don't all Western leaders leave their capital and go to a Situation Room or Command Center. Bibi leaves the country after the war is declared every time. If you don't leave, you will likely to get killed. Unless Iran treat their leaders like disposable
A pickup truck, military truck or construction truck could be used as a drone or cruise missile launcher. A cold launch is better in this case so it doesn't damage the truck
The West analysts keep predicting how many launchers are left or destroyed. I think that is a wrong way to look at this.
It's not a cruise missile per say, but a jet powered drone, shaping appears to be stealth-inspired. Hadid-110. Should have lower RCS than Shahed and is faster than it, so would be harder to intercept.
Duration: 1 hour
Range: 350 km
Speed: 510 km/h
Warhead: 30 kg
Shahed's advanced variants have range upto 2,500km, 50 kg warhead and speed of 185 km/h.
Hadids are probably being used against Kuwait and/or Iraq.
I feel like it will be a good tactic to put AAM on Shaheeds. Russians already do it in Ukraine but Iran would utilize it in a different manner. Instead of using them to hunt drones, they can potentially use them to threaten enemy combat aircraft tasked with intercepting them. Instead of using laser guided rockets or even auto cannons they’d be forced to use more expensive, longer ranged missiles to engage them, since there is a minuscule but none zero chance that the prey could bite back.
