**No, the claim in the YouTube video "Iran: Destroyed 4 THAAD Radar Systems In 24 Hours | WION BREAKING" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=zONVFerefqk) is not true.** It is **Iranian propaganda** and **unverified/exaggerated claims** that have not been confirmed by credible sources.

### What the Video Claims
- The video (from WION, a reputable Indian news channel) reports that **Iranian military officials claimed** to have destroyed **four advanced U.S. THAAD radar systems** within **24 hours**.
- It mentions the radars were part of the THAAD network (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense), providing early warning and tracking for ballistic missiles.
- The strikes were allegedly on regional air-defense infrastructure supporting U.S. and Israeli operations.
- No U.S. response is noted at the time of the video.

### Reality Check (As of March 9, 2026)
- **Iran has made this claim**: Iranian state media (e.g., IRGC statements via PressTV, Fars News) and military spokespeople (e.g., Lt. Col. Ibrahim Zolfaghari) did announce the destruction of **four THAAD radars** in locations like al-Rubah, al-Ruwais, al-Kharj, and Azraq.
- **No independent confirmation**: Major Western and international outlets (Reuters, BBC, AP, Times of Israel, Al Jazeera, CNN, Bloomberg, New York Times) report **limited damage** to U.S. and allied radar systems in the region:
- Confirmed: One AN/TPY-2 radar (part of THAAD) destroyed at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan (satellite imagery from CNN, Bloomberg, Military Watch Magazine).
- Possible/damaged: Additional AN/TPY-2 or similar radars in UAE (Al Ruwais, Al Sader), Saudi Arabia, and Qatar (AN/FPS-132 early-warning radar).
- Total confirmed destroyed/damaged: **1–3 radars** (not 4), with costs estimated at $300M–$2.7B depending on the systems.
- No evidence of **four THAAD radars** specifically destroyed in 24 hours — Iranian claims appear inflated for propaganda.

- **Context of the conflict**:
- The war (Operation Epic Fury) started February 28, 2026, with U.S./Israeli strikes on Iran.
- Iran retaliated with missiles/drones targeting U.S. bases and air defenses in the Gulf (Jordan, UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, etc.).
- Satellite imagery (CNN, Bloomberg, NYT) shows damage to radar infrastructure, but not widespread destruction of four full THAAD radars in one day.

### Bottom Line
- **Iran claimed it** — yes.
- **Is it true?** — No, not verified. Credible reports confirm **1–3 radars damaged/destroyed** across the region over several days, not **4 THAAD radars in 24 hours**. The video reports the Iranian claim as fact without sufficient verification or caveats, making it misleading.

WION is generally credible, but in fast-moving conflicts, they sometimes relay unverified statements from one side. For accuracy, cross-check with Reuters, BBC, AP, or satellite imagery analyses from CNN/Bloomberg. --Source: Grok AI

Nice
WION = Goh Meng Seng

 

[Sideswipe]

Russian Intelligence ?

 

[Boonsiong]

Iran can really win the war if they hire Goh Meng Seng as their propaganda chief

 

[Rogue Trader]

They have just redeployed the thaad system from South Korea

 

[404]

from Feb 28 to Mar 7, IRGC has damaged the 4X THAAD once, mostly the radar (AN/FPS 2) system, US tried to salvage parts around the world to replace these damaged radar. So Iran destroyed 3 or 4 THAAD radar system in the last 24 hours(Mar 8) is the second time following previous damage after the radar is offloading to be replaced

I was told, 1 thaad system cost a billion $.
