The Israeli military is planning for at least one or two more weeks of operations in Iran, during which it aims to hit thousands more Iranian regime targets, The Times of Israel has learned.

Israel’s goal is a systematic degradation of the Iranian regime and its military sites.

Meanwhile, some officials in the IDF believe that Gulf states — who have been attacked by Iran amid the conflict — will join the campaign offensively.

Currently, the Gulf states are mainly involved defensively, shooting down Iranian ballistic missiles and drones aimed at their countries.
