Impressive camera work, Abdul, keeping the hypersonic missile in frame like that. May Allah spare you and your panning abilities.

They certainly don't seem to be slowing down at all. Here is a view of more being launched.

Their stock is sinking like a rock, 5% in 2 days. https://economictimes.indiatimes.co...haifa-port/articleshow/121825396.cms?from=mdr
From Adanis themselves
"Adani Group's Haifa port in Israel remains operational and unharmed following Iranian ballistic missile attacks. Cargo operations continue normally with eight ships currently in the port. While shrapnel was found nearby, the port itself was not impacted."
Maybe this is one of the tricks, port is fine, it is only the storage facilities that got hit which has nothing to do with us.
Anyhow, 1 big hit today. Loosing a power plant is no joke.

Technically, a lot of these blackouts are temporary. Lines shorted out, disconnector tripped and will reclose in 30s.
In strike on the power plant you can se the industrial zone going dark and then right before video ends it's back on.
Preplanned show looks like. You don't organise this level of aircraft movement with bomb payload in a day.
Looks like peace talks were nothing but buying time for pissrael to get its shit together.
Update: I think israel hitting Iran's air defenses were to prepare for US bombers arrival.
A 10-year-old boy has been severely injured in a Iranian ballistic missile strike in central Israel targeting residential buildings, according to Magen David Adom.

I found some good analysis about Iran's air defenses or lack thereof. Shows overall Muslim incompetence and failure to change doctrine, or even follow it. One important point, the regular Iranian Army is responsible for air defense and air force. They get drastically less funding than the IRGC and as such, most of the talent goes to the IRGC because it pays better and has better career opportunities in a country with shit wages. Issue is, IRGG is mainly Iran's special proxy force, ballistic missile crew and drone operators. They're far from experts at defense and have used scary pointy missiles and homegrown radar systems thinking it was enough of a deterrent. Iran has neglected the basics of homeland defense and is now paying the price.

Why Iran Still Has No Functional Air Defense
People often say Iran lacks proper air defense because of U.S. and Western sanctions, and while that's partly true, it's far from the whole truth. The deeper issue lies in strategic indecision, deep-seated mistrust—especially toward China-and a long series of missed opportunities. Iran had multiple windows to build up a credible aerial defense system, but time and again, it chose not to act.
One of the clearest chances came in October 2020, when the UN arms embargo on Iran officially expired. This opened the door for Tehran to legally purchase advanced weapons systems from Russia and China, including fighter jets, air defense platforms, and integrated battle networks. Iran made moves—it explored options, visited factories-but in the end, failed to commit to a workable solution.
In 2021 and 2022, Iranian military officials visited China to inspect the J-10CE, a modern 4.5-generation fighter jet that Pakistan had recently acquired. The J-10CE is more than just a plane: it comes as part of a networked warfare doctrine, including radar, electronic warfare systems, data-link infrastructure, and full pilot training support. In short, it's a plug-and-play combat package.
Pakistan recognized this and placed full trust in the Chinese system. That trust paid off. In the 2025 Indo-Pakistani aerial confrontation, Pakistan used this integrated system-specifically the J-10CE armed with the PL-15 long-range missile-to devastating effect. Pakistani officials later claimed they had downed six Indian aircraft, including four Rafales, and that they had radar locks on at least fifteen Indian jets but chose to hold back.
Iran, despite being offered the same system, walked away. It wasn't just the J-10 it rejected. Iranian officials also inspected the JF-17 "Thunder" (known as # t in Chinese), a jointly developed fighter jet by China and Pakistan, and again passed on the opportunity.
Instead, Iran turned to Russia in 2023, at a time when Moscow was already bogged down in the war in Ukraine, which had begun on February 24, 2022. Tehran tried to acquire Su-35s and, more ambitiously, wanted to purchase the entire production line for domestic assembly. But two years later, by mid-2025, not a single Su-35 has arrived in Iran. No planes. No production line. No training systems. No change in combat readiness.
By this point, one would expect Iran to reassess its options and consider buying from China. But it didn't. Iran preferred to go without any new fighters at all rather than rely on Chinese technology. The reason? A deeply ingrained belief that Chinese defense equipment is of inferior quality.
Take the case of the C-802 anti-ship missile, a Chinese system Iran had acquired in the early 2000s. Iranian engineers, convinced there were flaws in the original Chinese design, modified the missile's guidance system without consulting China. Subsequent test launches failed: the missiles missed their targets every time. When Chinese technicians were called in for after-sales support, they found the issue wasn't with the original system—it was with Iran's modifications. Once restored to factory settings, the missiles performed exactly as intended.
Iran's attitude toward Chinese arms: suspicion, second-guessing, and ultimately, rejection. Yet the irony is this: Iran wasn't short on cash. With the money it had, it could have very easily built up its aerial defense system. According to estimates from the U.S. State Department and various intelligence sources, Iran has spent roughly $15-20 billion supporting the Syrian government since 2011-averaging about $2 billion per year in military aid, fuel subsidies, logistics, and training. On top of that, Hezbollah receives an estimated $700 million annually, with some years seeing even higher flows. These are massive, long-term investments in foreign partners.
The consequences of Iran not having a functional aerial defense capability have been catastrophic. Iran's current air force is practically a relic. It relies on aging American F-4 Phantoms, MiG-29s, and a few locally modified F-14 Tomcats. These planes haven't seen meaningful combat in decades. There's no credible networked defense, no radar integration with missile shields, and no modern fighter fleet that can protect airspace or project power. If Iran had accepted the Chinese offer in 2021 or 2022, it could have fielded at least two full squadrons of J-10CEs by now, integrated them into a multilayered missile defense system, and begun building a credible deterrent. Even if Iran had improvements in mind, those could have been addressed over time through joint training, technology transfers, and domestic upgrades. China has shown flexibility on that front with countries like Pakistan and Egypt.
Another huge strategic error on the part of Iran.

I think the Israelis rank at the very top for "Countries that should not cry about dead children".

My best guess is the Iranians are launching more of their higher quality missiles, David's Sling seems to be pretty much useless against anything better than a Kheybar Shekan.

I assume it's a mix of Inshalla Maintenance Plan and sabotage
also I notice gas hasn't gone up at all in my area, still 27x~29x

Open up Google Maps, zoom in on Haifa, just search around for 10 seconds or so, see if there's any objects of value.
I'm asking you to do at least 15 seconds of research. Might prove too challenging.

Quick question: If
1. Iran has no air defense (either knocked out or didn't exist) and
2. The F-35's stealth can let it enter contested airspaces without fear from AD
then why are there no videos of Israeli jets flying over Tehran dropping bombs with impunity the way they bomb Beirut? So far it's all been Mossad drone strikes from within Iran, Mossad bombs and the occasional standoff munition fired from over the horizon. Bombs have higher yields and are cheaper so if you actually have totally uncontested control of the airspace it doesn't make sense to not use them primarily over piddly drones or the expensive guided missiles that are supposed to precede an attack.
Expensive targets, mostly a huge port, oil refinery and power plant. The financial cost of any of those taking a hit is huge.
