00:00New targets of Israeli strikes on Thursday morning.
00:04Tehran's 12,000-seat Azadi indoor arena, which was partially destroyed, and a local police station.
00:13Day and night, U.S. and Israeli ordnance rains down as Iranians learn to live as their world explodes around
00:21them.
00:21In a daily update, Israel kept up the pressure.
00:27The goal of the operation is to inflict severe damage on the Iranian terror regime until it removes the existential
00:33threat.
00:38So just how long will Iran be able to hold out under the bombardment?
00:42The U.S. and Israel say they've destroyed 300 missile launches since Saturday.
00:49They claim that Iranian tactical launches have fallen 86% since the start of the war, with a similar trend
00:56for drone attacks, 73% fewer, according to the coalition's figures.
01:04There are several interpretations for a drastic decline in firing.
01:08Firstly, that stocks are running low, and they can no longer maintain the firing rates they had at the start
01:13of the war.
01:13The second explanation is that they may also be managing stocks, that they could be planning to save for a
01:19later phase in the war.
01:23Despite supposedly weakening, Iran hit Qatar on Thursday morning, and for the first time, Azerbaijan too.
01:30Three drones struck an airport in its autonomous Nakhchivan exclave between Armenia and Turkey.
01:36It's hard to say just what Iran has left in terms of weaponry or production capacity.
01:41However, experts say there's another aspect which may be just as important.
01:46The determination of its theocratic leaders to ensure the Islamic Republic survives.
