But in my personal opinion, the Iranian story is far from over,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt may be that we significantly damaged the nuclear program, but we did not sufficiently damage the Iranians\u2019 ability to launch ballistic missiles, and certainly not their ability to operate their proxies in Yemen and Iraq,\u201d Buskila explained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cAs long as missiles are still being launched, like the missile with a split warhead from Yemen &#8211; which is without a doubt Iranian knowledge and guidance &#8211; then certainly the story with Iran has not ended.
