Weeks, Not Days” – Israeli Military Strategy
Israel’s military campaign against Iran is expected to unfold over weeks rather than days, with what appears to be tacit approval from the United States, according to senior officials from both nations.

Airstrikes in Tehran
The Israeli Air Force launched a broad wave of intelligence-driven airstrikes in Tehran, including one on the Iranian Ministry of Defense headquarters, according to the Israeli military. Iran’s state-run Tasnim News Agency reported only minor damage to an administrative building within the complex.

Iran has accused Israel of targeting key energy infrastructure, including the South Pars natural gas field—the largest in the world—and the Shahran oil depot. Social media footage from Tehran shows massive fires and plumes of smoke rising from the impact zones.
