Israel’s military announced on April 7, 2026, that it has finished a series of broad-scale strikes across Iran, targeting regime infrastructure, missile sites, and military assets.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that it completed a wide wave of attacks, including multiple operations in Tehran and other regions, hitting dozens of regime targets such as command centers, launch sites, and defense systems. The strikes involved significant numbers of fighter jets and munitions aimed at degrading Iran’s offensive capabilities.
Focus on Tehran and Key Sites
Recent operations included extensive strikes on government infrastructure in the Iranian capital, with the IDF confirming the completion of waves targeting airports, aircraft, and related facilities. Earlier phases had already hit weapons production sites, steel factories, and ballistic missile infrastructure.
Ongoing Conflict Context
This announcement comes more than a month into the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran, which began on February 28, 2026. Israel has described the operations as necessary to neutralize existential threats from Iran’s missile and nuclear programs. Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks on Israel and regional targets, while maintaining control over parts of the Strait of Hormuz.
No immediate details on the latest damage assessment or Iranian casualties from this specific wave were released by Israeli sources. Iranian state media has condemned the strikes as aggression and vowed retaliation.
The development signals a potential shift in the intensity of Israeli operations amid diplomatic pressures and Trump administration statements on the conflict timeline.
