Israel has struck more than 1,000 Iranian weapons production targets as it intensifies attacks on Tehran's military industries, the Israeli military said on Thursday.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Thursday that over the past day, its 60 warplanes dropped more than 150 bombs on military facilities near Tehran and in central Iran. In addition, the Israeli Air Force also struck facilities that were used for storing and launching ballistic missiles in western Iran.
The campaign is designed to "degrade the Iranian regime's weapons production capabilities," systematically targeting production lines to reduce Iran's manufacturing, development, and research capacity across its military industries, the IDF said in a statement.
The announcement came shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump said talks aimed at ending the conflict were going "very well" and extended his deadline for potential strikes on Iranian energy facilities by 10 days.
On Feb. 28, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities. Iran's former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed, along with senior military commanders and civilians. Iran responded with waves of missile and drone strikes targeting Israel and U.S. bases and assets in the Middle East.
