🇮🇱 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 ⚡️ — NEW: IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir personally pressed US military and diplomatic officials to make Iran's ballistic missiles the central issue in US‑Iran talks.

🔴 Zamir met US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine in Washington and briefed US Envoy Steve Witkoff in Jerusalem; he also dispatched IDF Intelligence Chief Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder to make the case.

🔴 Israel warns Iran has rebuilt and expanded its ballistic missile program since June 2025, could reach production of ~300 missiles per month and totals of 6,000–10,000 in 2027–2028, risking overwhelm of Israel's air‑defense.

🔴 Tehran altered tactics in June 2025—wider targeting of civilian sites, longer‑range launch locations, faster salvo launches and cluster bomblets—36 missiles in one attack killed 28 Israelis and damaged ~13,000 residences.
