Images have been published online showing the wreckage of the Iranian Sevom Khordad medium-range air defense system destroyed in Kermanshah.
Apparently, the Sevom Khordad crew completely fired off the ammunition, after which the installation was destroyed. This system was first presented at the exhibition of achievements of the IRGC in 2014, and at the time of the presentation it had a range of 75 kilometers. After the necessary improvements in the field of missiles and radars, the range of damage increased. Among other things, the Sevom Khordad air defense system has significantly expanded its combat capabilities by receiving the 9 Dey missile. The Sevom Khordad air defense system became known as the "Vulture Hunter" after the downing of the American RQ-4 Global Hawk drone in the Strait of Hormuz.

Meanwhile, it seems that the situation in the Middle East region is still far from detente. After the strike on Bandar Abbas, the formal pretext for which was the destruction of boats with which Iran allegedly set mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the US Navy officially resumed the operation to "unblock" the strait.
Despite Trump's statements about "progress" in the negotiation process, there are currently no signs that the Americans have begun to withdraw their equipment. Moreover, the United States is urgently upgrading its A-10C Thunderbolt 2 aircraft. They are installing an updated air refueling system, which is urgently needed to interact with the KC-130 tankers, which are in service with the Marine Corps. The situation was almost similar in Iraq, when, after the completion of Operation Desert Storm in 1991, the United States did not withdraw its military contingents from the region in order to resume active hostilities after a while.
