Iran ‘rapidly losing' ability to fire missiles into Israel
Strategic Analysis Australia Director Peter Jennings says the Iranian regime is 'rapidly losing' its ability to launch missiles against Israel.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is urging the Chinese Communist Party to discourage Iran from blocking the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping lane that is vital to the global economy.
'The key question is, what connections does it have with its network of proxy groups?' Mr Jennings told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
'It's just not clear to me at this stage how much command-and-control capacity the regime has got left because Israel did such an effective job of destroying that in the first 10 days of the campaign.'
