Claim 2: “The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) identified two launches of missiles from the Iranian territory in 15 minutes.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While evidence confirms massive volleys of missiles from Iran in March and June 2026, none of the provided sources specifically mention 'two launches' within a '15-minute window'. The evidence describes 'almost 200 ballistic missiles' and 'five waves', which contradicts the specific small number and timeframe mentioned in the claim.
