Recent reporting indicates that joint U.S. and Israeli military operations have carried out strikes against security checkpoints and other military-linked sites in Tehran, with intelligence support from informants on the ground guiding some targeting decisions. The operations are part of a wider campaign aimed at weakening Iran’s military and nuclear-related infrastructure during the escalating regional conflict.

The strikes form part of sustained air and missile operations that have expanded across Iran, including attacks on key logistical and strategic facilities such as energy hubs and military bases. U.S. officials say the campaign has intensified alongside new troop deployments and naval movements in the region, reflecting the widening scope of the confrontation.
Separate statements from U.S. leadership have confirmed bombardments of military sites linked to Iran’s oil export network, including infrastructure on Kharg Island, highlighting the strategic importance of energy-related targets in the conflict.

At the same time, Pentagon officials have described the joint campaign as one of the most extensive in modern regional warfare, claiming thousands of targets have been struck as coalition forces attempt to degrade Iran’s missile production and defensive capabilities.
