NEW DELHI: The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) announced a series of targeted strikes against military infrastructure in different cities across Iran. In a post on X, the IDF confirmed the extent of the aerial operation, stating that “in Tehran, dozens of munitions were dropped on command centres, and UAV, ballistic missile, and air defence storage sites were struck.”
A map accompanying the post visually depicted the strikes in Tehran, Shiraz, and Tabriz, showing locations marked with pins on a satellite view of Iran. The operation further extended to southern and northwestern locations.
The IDF reported that in Shiraz, the internal security forces’ command centre and a ballistic missile site were struck, while in the northwest, additional Iranian regime air defence systems were dismantled, further expanding aerial superiority in the region and protecting Israel.
According to a report by The Times of Israel, this combined military campaign with the United States is moving “according to plan,” outstripping initial timelines. Military officials indicated that strikes on the Iranian defence sector are set to “further ramp up,” longside persistent attempts to reduce missile fire on Israel.
Despite the accelerated pace, the IDF remains prepared for at least three more weeks of operations within Iran. The military cited the existence of thousands more targets yet to be neutralised across the capital and various provinces. “We have thousands of targets ahead,” IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin stated, adding that the military is “ready, in coordination with our US allies,” with plans extending through “Passover” and beyond.
