Israel Launches Broad Strikes on Tehran and Beirut, Targets Missile Sites and Basij Headquarters

Israeli forces said they launched a broad new wave of strikes inside Iran that targeted a rocket-engine production facility, several long-range ballistic missile launch sites, and the headquarters of Iran’s internal security forces and the Basij.

“The Israeli occupation army said on Monday that it had begun a new wave of strikes on the Iranian regime’s infrastructure inside Iran, while the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper quoted officials as preparing for a war that could last a month”

Al-Jazeera reported these claims directly, listing the facilities Israel said it hit and noting parallel strikes on Lebanese target sites attributed to Hezbollah infrastructure.

The New York Times fragment provided with the query did not include reporting on the strikes, so full NYT coverage could not be used to corroborate or add detail.

The reporting said the stated aim is to significantly reduce Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities and cited claims that Iranian launch platforms have fallen from roughly 460 to about 150.

Al-Jazeera also relayed Israeli officials’ caveat that military action alone is unlikely to change the Iranian regime, highlighting limits to a purely kinetic approach.

The New York Times fragment did not provide additional commentary on Israeli strategic aims.

Taken together, the supplied material paints a picture of escalating strikes and counterstrikes involving Israel, Iran and Hezbollah.
