Jerusalem/Tehran — In a bold escalation of its military campaign, Israel has claimed responsibility for airstrikes on six major Iranian airports, targeting what it described as key military aviation hubs and infrastructure critical to Iran’s aerial defense systems.
According to defense sources, the airstrikes destroyed multiple Iranian fighter jets and helicopters, including strategic aircraft believed to be part of Iran’s rapid deployment and retaliatory forces. Runways, refueling points, and underground aircraft shelters were also reported to be hit.
“We have neutralized several high-value targets and significantly weakened Iran’s ability to launch airborne operations,” said an Israeli military spokesperson.
Iran Yet to Confirm Casualties
While Israeli sources have published strike details, Iran has not officially confirmed the extent of the damage. However, unverified reports from within Iran suggest explosions were heard near major airbases, and flights from several cities were disrupted.
Military analysts suggest the operation marks a major shift in Israel’s regional strategy, demonstrating deep penetration into Iranian airspace and the capacity to strike targets far beyond contested border zones.
Regional Fallout
The strikes have sent ripples across the Middle East. Neighboring countries have heightened air surveillance and security, while global powers have urged immediate restraint from both sides to prevent the outbreak of a full-scale war.
In the wake of these developments, the international community is watching closely for Iran’s next move, which could range from direct retaliation to proxy attacks via aligned groups in neighboring regions.
