Claimed by IRGC Quds Force Commander Brigadier General Esmail Qaani (leaked briefing) (Iranian)
IRGC Quds Force commander Brigadier General Esmail Qaani stated in a closed-door briefing — leaked to journalists — that Iran's axis of resistance partners had collectively fired over 3,000 projectiles at Israeli and U.S. targets since March 17, demonstrating strategic depth that cannot be eliminated by airstrikes.

Unverified
Neutral analysis
The axis of resistance has clearly conducted coordinated attacks across multiple fronts, but the 3,000 projectile figure exceeds what has been independently documented and the leak's authenticity remains unconfirmed.
Verification notes
The claim is based on a leaked briefing reported by three Iranian journalists and one Western correspondent. The Iranian government neither confirmed nor denied the briefing. The 3,000 projectile figure is higher than independent tallies from Airwars and the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED).
