The Israeli Air Force hit dozens of Iranian military sites during a wave of airstrikes in Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz earlier today, the IDF says.
Dozens of IAF fighter jets dropped over 170 bombs on the targets, the military says.
According to the IDF, the targets included a headquarters of the IRGC Quds Force in Tehran; a surface-to-air missile production and storage site, along with several air defense systems in Isfahan; and other military infrastructure in Shiraz, located in Iran’s south.

The IDF says the strikes are part of a new stage of the war aimed at “deepening the blow to the core arrays of the Iranian terror regime and its foundations.”
