The weapons Iran used on Saturday can travel much farther, and some of them can travel much faster.
Still, Israel said that nearly all of the missiles and drones that Iran fired were intercepted, many with help from U.S. forces.
In Saturday’s attack, 185 drones, 36 cruise missiles and 110 surface-to-surface missiles were fired toward Israel, according to Israeli military officials.
It has a range of more than 1,200 miles — plenty to reach Israel from Iran.
In recent decades, Iran has largely been focused on deterrence, long-range missiles, drones and air defenses.
