Israeli strikes on Iran are ‘beyond what the enemy anticipated,’ IDF chief declares

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says the Israeli Air Force is striking Iran’s “infrastructure and nuclear program in a precise and extensive manner, beyond what the enemy anticipated.”

“The offensive operations we are conducting in Iran are transforming Israel’s strategic reality. We are removing an existential threat and reinforcing our security,” says Zamir during a visit to the IAF’s central command center today.

“The IDF, through the air force, has completed paving the way to Tehran and is striking the regime’s infrastructure and nuclear program in a precise and extensive manner, beyond what the enemy anticipated,” he says.

“The defense and home front effort is critical. I send my condolences to the families of the fallen and call on everyone to continue acting responsibly and to follow the Home Front Command’s instructions,” Zamir continues. “A strong home front gives us the strength to continue our mission. We will continue to act with determination, strength, responsibility, and in full cooperation with all security branches, until all our objectives are achieved.”
