Israel strikes Iranian military targets as conflict escalates

The Israeli military has carried out extensive strikes against what it calls Iranian regime targets inside Iran. The IDF says it is specifically targeting Iran's military systems and defense industry, not seeking to overthrow the government.

In response, Iran has continued firing missiles, including toward Gulf states, which have intercepted some of the attacks. The Israeli military indicates its operations aim to systematically degrade Iran's military capabilities over a period of several weeks.
