The Israeli military expects the ongoing operation against Iran to take more than a week, at least.
The IDF says it seeks to deal a heavy blow to the Iranian regime, but stresses that this will take more than a few days to achieve.
Recent strikes in Iran have targeted sites belonging to the Iranian regime, along with ballistic missile launchers and air defense sites.
Iranian nuclear facilities have not yet been targeted, but are among Israel’s and the United States’ objectives, according to the military.
