Israel’s air force has dropped an estimated 6,500 bombs in just seven days, in what commanders describe as a “systematic dismantling” of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ regional war network, officials say.

From the outskirts of Tehran and Isfahan to IRGC hubs in Syria and along the Iraq border, waves of F‑35s, F‑15s and armed drones have pounded command bunkers, missile depots, drone factories and logistics corridors feeding Iran’s proxies. Satellite imagery shows scorched compounds, collapsed tunnel entrances and fuel depots burning for hours after secondary explosions.

Inside Israel’s underground air‑operations centre, giant screens track hundreds of simultaneous missions: one strike package hunting mobile ballistic launchers near Kermanshah; another cratering drone runways in western Iran; others hammering Quds Force safe houses funnelling weapons to Hezbollah and militias in Iraq and Yemen.

The IDF insists its targeting matrix is built on months of intelligence from cyber, signals intercepts and human sources, arguing that every hit “cuts a wire” in the IRGC web that sends missiles and Shahed‑style drones toward Israeli cities and US bases.

Tehran counters that many sites were evacuated and vows its arsenal is “far from broken,” even as videos from inside Iran show hospitals under strain, ammunition trucks burning on highways and residents waking to shattered windows and rolling blackouts.

For allies and critics alike, the question is no longer whether Israel can sustain such a tempo—but whether 6,500 bombs in one week are degrading Iran’s capacity to wage war, or driving the region toward a point where the only thing left to strike is the edge of all‑out catastrophe.
