U.S. analyzes Iran's missile attacks on Israel to assess defense strategies against China

The U.S. is analyzing Iran's recent missile attacks on Israel to understand missile defense effectiveness. Iran launched nearly 400 missiles this year, providing insights for both the U.S. and China, despite differences in the scenarios. The October 1 attacks marked the largest test of missile defenses against modern threats. Analysts suggest that China's missiles may be harder to intercept than Iran's, highlighting the need for a strong counter-strike capability. This assessment comes after a similar large-scale attack in April, emphasizing the ongoing challenges in missile defense systems. The findings could influence U.S. strategies in potential conflicts involving China.
