Gulf States Scramble Air Defenses Amid Mixed Results

In response to a joint attack by Israel and the US, Iran has launched a barrage of missiles and drones towards its neighbors, forcing countries to scramble their air defenses to protect civilians. The attacks have hit airports and civilian buildings across the region, with mixed results in terms of interception. According to Breaking Defense, the GCC states have activated their air defenses, dispersed military aircraft, and implemented civil-defense measures, but the conflict has shown structural vulnerabilities in their defense systems.
