The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has reported a major aerial offensive deep inside Iranian territory as part of the 2026 Iran war, with its fighter jets dropping more than 2,000 bombs on Iranian regime targets in roughly 30 hours of intense operations. The ᴀssault marks one of the most rapid and concentrated air campaigns in the conflict so far.

🔥 Mᴀssive Bomber Blitz:
Since the opening of the Israeli air campaign, IAF fighters — including F‑35 Lightning II stealth fighters, F‑15 Eagles, and F‑16 Fighting Falcons — have flown hundreds of sorties, striking hundreds of military sites and infrastructure targets across Iran.

✈️ Air Superiority Quickly Established:
The IDF reported that it achieved air superiority within the first 24 hours, neutralizing a large portion of Iranian air defenses in western regions. This dominance enabled fighter jets to operate with greater freedom, dropping bombs directly on targets including ballistic missile launchers, radar installations, key headquarters, and command centers.

🔎 Scope of the Air Campaign:

Over 700 sorties were conducted by Israeli fighter aircraft in the opening stages.
Targets included Iranian military infrastructure from Tehran to border regions, with concentrated strikes on defensive systems and strategic sites.
The rapid pace of strikes dwarfing previous air campaigns underscores the intensity of the ongoing phase of war.

⚠️ Regional Fallout:
While Israeli jets have dominated Iranian skies during this offensive window, the broader war remains complex. Iran and allied militias continue missile and drone launches, and air defense and counter‑air operations are ongoing across multiple fronts throughout the Middle East.

This surge in aerial activity demonstrates how conventional airpower remains central to the conflict’s evolution — with fighter jets playing a leading role in delivering precision strikes at an unprecedented tempo.
