Kochi: Israel targeted “regime infrastructure” in Tehran, BBC quoted Military sources.
It has also been attacking “Hezbollah infrastructure” in the armed group’s strongholds in Beirut. The IDF chief of staff, Eyal Zamir, said that the initial “surprise strike phase” had involved establishing “air superiority” and attacking ballistic missile sites, media reports said.
He said there would be “additional surprises” in the next phase to “further dismantle the regime”. Israeli warplanes carried out their 14th wave of strikes on Iran since Saturday, with heavy bombing reported in Tehran and other cities overnight. Sirens warning of Iranian missiles went off repeatedly in Israel with one apparent use of a cluster warhead.
Israel hit southern Beirut in Lebanon overnight, after Israel’s military gave warnings for people to leave entire neighbourhoods.
The US Central Command, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Central Command Admiral Brad Cooper and President Donald Trump held a briefing on US operations against Iran.
Hegseth said “the amount of firepower over Iran and over Tehran is about to surge dramatically”.
He added that the UK decision to allow the US to use the Diego Garcia military base would help Washington intensify attacks.
The UK has allowed the US to use British bases “to conduct defensive operations”.
