Israel estimates it will take at least three more weeks to complete the destruction of its current bank of targets in Iran.
The Air Force is operating at a rapid pace, carrying out an average of about 500 strikes per day to accomplish as much as possible, as “any moment could be the last” if the US president decides to intervene.
US Special Envoy Witkoff to arrive in Israel with Jared Kushner, according to a US official
Operations are being conducted in sprints to maximize damage within the limited timeframe. At this stage, the focus remains on eliminating missile threats, neutralizing radar systems, achieving full air superiority, and destroying fuel infrastructure used by the Iranian army, as seen in yesterday’s strikes.
While Israel continues its intensive attacks on Iranian targets, a US official confirmed that envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected in Israel later this week.
Alongside the military offensive, Israel is leading an extensive awareness campaign aimed directly at the Iranian population. The goal is to prepare the ground for calls for an uprising and a return to the streets.
Israeli officials have expressed some disappointment that Iranians have not yet rallied against the regime: “In any case, the decision on the nature of their government is in their hands.”
