Airstrikes continue to pound multiple locations across Iran as the conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel enters a new and more intense phase. Military officials say the first stage of the operation has already targeted thousands of strategic locations across the country.

According to statements from Washington and Tel Aviv, joint operations by U.S. and Israeli forces have struck more than 5,000 targets inside Iran since the beginning of the campaign. The strikes are part of a coordinated effort aimed at weakening Iran’s military capabilities and limiting its ability to launch missile attacks.

Among the primary targets are missile launch sites, air defense systems, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) command centers, and heavily fortified military bases and underground bunkers believed to house critical weapons systems.

Reports indicate that airstrikes have been carried out in several major Iranian cities, including Isfahan, Shiraz, Qom, and Kermanshah, with explosions and air defense activity reported throughout the regions. Residents in some areas have described hearing repeated blasts overnight as jets and drones carried out precision attacks on military infrastructure.

Military analysts say the scale of the strikes suggests a large and carefully coordinated campaign designed to dismantle Iran’s strategic capabilities. The focus appears to be on neutralizing facilities connected to missile development, storage, and potential nuclear infrastructure.

Officials involved in the operation say the overarching goal is to severely degrade Iran’s missile forces and halt any progress toward nuclear weapon capability, which the United States and Israel view as a major security threat to the region.

While the full extent of the damage is still being assessed, defense sources indicate that additional waves of strikes could follow if Iranian military assets remain operational.

The situation remains highly volatile, and observers warn that the conflict could continue to escalate as both sides prepare for the next stage of the confrontation.
