IDF Announces 400+ Targets Struck in Western and Central Iran Over Past 24 Hours

The Israeli military announced that over 400 Iranian targets had been struck during a recent wave of airstrikes in western and central Iran. The IDF stated the targets included ballistic missile launchers and weapon production sites, releasing footage of some of the strikes. The 400+ figure represents the largest target count announced for a single operational wave of the campaign. Previous large waves had targeted 50-80 sites. The jump to 400+ reflects the expanded geographic scope of Day 9 operations — extending from Tehran and the western military heartland into central Iran, including Isfahan airbase and Yazd province. The strikes on ballistic missile launchers are particularly significant: every launcher destroyed reduces Iran's capacity to continue overnight salvo campaigns against Israel. The IDF's announcement of weapons factories as targets signals a shift toward attriting Iran's long-term production capability, not just current stockpiles. The 400+ wave appears to be the operational follow-through on Netanyahu's Day 8 promise of 'many more targets and surprises.'
