In a dramatic escalation, Israel launched a high-stakes air assault on Iran early Saturday morning, marking its largest offensive against the nation in decades. The operation, involving over 100 aircraft including F-35I stealth fighters, targeted Iranian drone and missile production facilities across Tehran, Ilam, and Khuzestan. Israeli forces reportedly employed advanced electronic warfare to disable Iran’s defenses, allowing unmanned and guided munitions to penetrate strategic targets with limited risk.
Though Iran’s air defenses intercepted some strikes, the effectiveness and scale of the operation underline Israel’s military prowess in precision tactics. Iran, meanwhile, has attempted to downplay the damage, maintaining that only limited sites were impacted.
