Iran has reportedly destroyed a key high-value U.S. missile defense radar, dealing a major blow to Washington’s air-defense network in the Gulf. According to a Bloomberg report citing a U.S. official, the $300 million radar — part of the AN/TPY-2 Radar used by the THAAD Missile Defense System — was taken out during the opening phase of the conflict. The radar provided critical tracking data to guide missile interceptors and detect incoming ballistic threats. Without it, interception duties could fall heavily on MIM-104 Patriot Missile System batteries, which rely on PAC-3 missiles already in limited supply. Commercial satellite imagery cited by CNN showed the radar and support equipment destroyed at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, with U.S. officials later confirming the damage. Data compiled by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies indicates two Iranian strikes targeting sites in Jordan in late February and early March. #iranusconflict #thaad #missiledefense #iranmissilestrik
