(All Israel News)—Iran is seeking to reinforce its air defense systems ahead of possible Israeli or U.S. strikes if the nuclear talks break down, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
Citing western intelligence assessments and recent defense analysis of satellite imagery, the Times reports that Iran has apparently repositioned remaining surface-to-air missile launchers closer to strategic nuclear sites, such as Fordow and Natanz.
The Financial Times cited a report by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) claiming Iran still has around 410 surface-to-air missile (SAM) defense systems, with most of those being the Chinese-made FM-80 (Feimeng 80), a short-range SAM. IISS estimates that Iran has only around 26 S-200 and S-300 SAM launchers remaining, and their condition is unknown.
In October, Israel struck and destroyed several Iranian S-300 sites at strategic locations throughout Iran, in response to the ballistic missile attack the Islamic Republic carried out earlier that same month. The country had hit several such SAM batteries during its strikes in April 2024, as well.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
