Iran's Formidable Missile Force

While bombs fall on Iran on February 28, 2026, the Western mainstream media immediately get to work and begin portraying the US and Israeli aggressors as victims and victims as aggressors. 

C'mon, you cannot bomb a sovereign nation and then pretend you are the victim when that nation responds. That is not objective reporting, that is narrative manipulation. 

When the two malevolent regimes initiate strikes and mainstream media labels Iran’s retaliation as “attacks” without context, it distorts reality and screams injustice. 

Words matter. Framing matters. If you start the fight, you don’t get to control the moral high ground when the other side fights back. That isn’t journalism. That’s gaslighting. 

And so, following the bombardments, Iran rightly returns the obligatory compliment; its response rests on one of the Middle East’s largest and lethal missile and drone arsenals. 

From short-range battlefield rockets to medium-range ballistic missiles capable of reaching Israel and Gulf states, Tehran has built a layered deterrence network designed to offset its aging air force. Cruise missiles and one-way attack drones add a low-flying, hard-to-detect threat, while underground “missile cities” enhance survivability in prolonged conflict. 

Though Iran’s missiles cannot reach the US mainland, their regional range reshapes the strategic map, placing key military bases, infrastructure, and shipping corridors within striking distance.

What this all means is that Iran is not to be underestimated. 

And I have no doubt that Iran will be triumphant in this conflagration.

Liverpool conceded yet another stoppage-time winner as they slumped to a bitterly disappointing 2-1 Premier League defeat to basement boys Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday. 

The Reds dominated the ball from the early stages but didn’t create much of real note in the first half despite their control. 

They improved in the second half and even had 80% of the ball across the first 15 minutes, as Wolves continued to offer very little going forward. But, it was the latter who ultimately broke the deadlock when they scored in the 78th minute. 

Arne Slot’s side were given a helping hand with the equaliser when a Wolves defender’s poor pass went to Mohamed Salah, who finally got his first league goal in 122 days, poking past the keeper at the near post.

The bottom club left Reds gutted when their effort deflected off Joe Gomez and beyond the helpless Alisson in the 94th minute. 

Yet again this season, just when it seemed as if Liverpool were making progress, they suffered a brutal defeat in the hands of a team that had won only once all season until Friday, when they made it two wins in five days!
