In the largest single air operation in Israel’s history, the Israeli Air Force has launched a mᴀssive ᴀssault involving more than 200 combat aircraft that struck over 500 targets deep inside Iran.
The unprecedented nighttime operation included F-35 stealth fighters, F-15 and F-16 strike jets, supported by aerial refuelers and electronic warfare aircraft. Israeli jets penetrated Iranian airspace and pounded IRGC command centers, remaining ballistic missile production facilities, underground bunkers, air defense systems, and key military airports across Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, and western Iran.
Israeli officials described the mission as “a crushing blow” delivered in direct retaliation for Iran’s recent missile attacks on Israeli cities and the ongoing war against the Jewish state. The scale of the operation dwarfs any previous Israeli airstrike in history.
This mᴀssive attack comes just hours after Israel’s killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and runs parallel to the intense U.S. carrier-led strikes under Operation Epic Fury. The coordinated U.S.-Israeli campaign has now pushed Iran’s military infrastructure to the breaking point.
IRGC spokesman Brig. Gen. Ali Mohammad Naeini called the ᴀssault “a declaration of total war” and vowed that Mojtaba Khamenei would lead a “fierce and unstoppable response.” Iran has already fired fresh missiles at U.S. bases, including the 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain.
President Donald Trump praised the Israeli operation, stating: “Israel just did what had to be done. 200+ planes, 500 targets — that’s real power. Together with the United States, we are finishing this once and for all.”
U.S. military casualties have now exceeded 235 as Iranian retaliation continues. Meanwhile, global oil prices have surged past $345 per barrel — an all-time record — as markets fear total chaos in the Gulf and possible further disruption to the already paralyzed Strait of Hormuz.
This historic Israeli operation represents a dramatic escalation. With over 200 aircraft involved and 500 targets hit in a single wave, Israel has sent an unmistakable message: the campaign to neutralize the Iranian threat has reached its most aggressive phase yet.
The war is now at a boiling point. Iran’s leadership is fractured, its military is under relentless bombardment, and its ability to strike back is being systematically dismantled.
This is an extremely fast-moving, historic, and highly dangerous situation with enormous global consequences. The next few hours may decide the future of the Iranian regime.
Stay alert — the skies over Iran are burning.
