IDF planning 3 more weeks of operations to systematically degrade Iran’s defense industry

The Israel Defense Forces’ campaign in the joint war with the United States against Iran is proceeding according to plan, and at a faster pace than initially expected, military officials said on Sunday, with strikes on Iran’s defense industries expected to further ramp up alongside ongoing efforts to reduce missile fire on Israel.

Despite being apparently ahead of schedule, the military has said it is preparing for at least three more weeks of operations in Iran, as it still has thousands more targets to hit, both in Tehran and in other parts of the country.

“We have thousands of targets ahead,” IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin told CNN on Sunday. “We are ready, in coordination with our US allies, with plans through at least the Jewish holiday of Passover, about three weeks from now. And we have deeper plans for even three weeks beyond that.”

Following Israel’s decapitation strikes that opened the war on February 28, killing Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei and more than 40 top Iranian officials, and subsequent strikes on ballistic missile launchers and air defense systems, the IDF is now focusing its efforts on destroying Iran’s military industry, according to the officials.

The officials said that the current campaign against Iran is different from the 12-day war in June 2025, and far more extensive.

I’m waiting till the 6th of April. I do not want to see, the last big US lie of flattening the curve in two weeks that turned to three years and more.

No more wars.
Except Mexico. That cartel infested border has murdered/poisoned over 300,000 American’s in the last few years.
