Israeli military says nearly all strategic Iranian targets neutralized

The Israeli army announced Wednesday that it had completed its planned strikes against military-industrial and nuclear-related targets in Iran, claiming that nearly all sites designated as “vital and strategic” have been put out of operation. The Hebrew daily Yedioth Ahronoth quoted a senior Israeli military official stating that the Israeli Air Force had finished its planned attacks on Iran’s military industries and nuclear facilities.

Damage said to set back Iranian capabilities

The official asserted that the damage inflicted on Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure would prevent Tehran from restoring its ballistic missile and nuclear capabilities for an extended period. The claims come as the US-Israeli campaign against Iran continues into its second month, with both sides exchanging strikes across the region.

Conflict intensifies amid competing claims

While Israeli officials tout the success of their operations, Iranian authorities have reported ongoing attacks and significant casualties since the conflict began Feb. 28. Tehran has launched retaliatory drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, as well as US bases and interests in neighboring countries, further widening the scope of hostilities.
