Israel 'expanding the scope' of strikes against Iran: IDF 
Share this @internewscast.com

Israel has intensified its military operations against Iran’s terrorist infrastructure, according to statements from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). On Sunday, Israeli forces conducted airstrikes targeting areas in both western and central Iran.

The IDF announced via social media platform X that the Israeli air force executed a series of strikes aimed at dismantling Iran’s “terror regime” in the Meidan region located in western Iran.

In these operations, the Israeli military specifically targeted several key command centers of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and the Basij unit. According to the IDF, these command centers were instrumental for the regime’s coordination of ongoing activities and for devising terror operations against Israel and other nations in the Middle East.

“These command centers served the regime’s elements for managing ongoing activities, as well as for planning and advancing terror operations against the State of Israel and other countries in the Middle East,” the IDF added.  

The attacks would carry on until Iran’s command and control centers are systematically impaired, the Israeli military concluded.

The US and Israel have continued their air campaign across Iran, with more than 15,000 targets hit before the weekend, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth estimated. 

Israel said it expected the war to last several more weeks as the Jewish state and the US demand Iran give up its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. 

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, however, claimed the demand was impossible to fulfill, alleging that the more than 900 pounds of highly enriched uranium is “under rubble” after last year’s 12-Day War, which saw the US and Israel bomb Tehran’s nuclear facilities.  

“Our nuclear facilities were attacked, and everything is under the rubble,” Araghchi said, noting that it would only be retrieved under the supervision of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog group. 

“For the time being, we have no program. We have no plan to recover them from under the rubble,” he told CBS’s “Face the Nation.” 

“Everything depends on the future. If [at] any time in the future we decide to enter into negotiation with US or other interlocutors, you know, we may decide what to put on the table. For the time being, nothing is on the table,” he added. 

The US has maintained that Iran would only need a few weeks to transform its stockpile of nuclear material, enriched at 60%, into weapons-grade uranium.
