💥 IDF expands strikes against Iranian missile and UAV infrastructure: The IDF has launched a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting Iranian regime infrastructure across Iran. The campaign is focused on reducing the regime’s ability to launch missiles and UAVs toward Israel.
The IDF reports dismantling more than 250 Iranian aircraft and hundreds of launchers. Over the past several days, strikes have also expanded against the regime’s UAV array.
During one strike wave, the Israeli Air Force identified operatives from the UAV array as they were arming an aircraft and preparing to launch it toward Israel. After rapidly closing the operational loop, the Air Force struck the launcher and the operatives, preventing the planned UAV launch.
So far, the IDF says it has dismantled more than 250 UAVs across Iran. Several commanders and operatives responsible for launches toward Israel were also eliminated.
The IDF says operations are continuing around the clock in western Iran to dismantle infrastructure linked to the regime’s ballistic missile and UAV capabilities. The stated goal is to reduce the scope of fire toward Israeli territory.
☢️ Additional Iranian nuclear weapons development compound struck: The Israeli Air Force also struck an additional Iranian regime nuclear weapons development compound in Tehran. The strike was carried out using precise IDF intelligence.
The targeted site, known as the “Taleghan” compound, was used by the regime to advance key capabilities for nuclear weapons development. In recent years, it was used for advanced explosives development and sensitive experiments connected to the AMAD project, Iran’s covert nuclear weapons program in the 2000s.
The IDF says that during Operation Rising Lion it has systematically targeted knowledge centers and infrastructure tied to Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Israeli intelligence recently identified efforts by the regime to rehabilitate the compound after it was previously struck in October 2024.
The IDF says the strike joins other operations aimed at damaging Iran’s nuclear weapons program, including the March 3, 2026 strike on the “Minzadehei” compound.
🗣️ Iranian leadership comments on targeting and damage claims: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told Omani Sultan Haitham bin Tariq that Iran only targets military sites directly involved in attacks on the country. He also said Tehran will investigate the reported attack on Oman’s Salalah Port.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi stated: "The enemy bombed a branch of the oldest bank in Iran while it was full of employees."
Majid Mousavi, Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Forces, said: "Trump should request to see before and after photos of our attacks on American bases to see what we have done".
