IDF Begins New 'Extensive' Airstrike Wave Against Iranian Regime Infrastructure

The Israeli Air Force announced the commencement of an extensive new wave of airstrikes against Iranian regime infrastructure in Tehran and other areas of Iran on Day 9 evening. The IDF stated further details would be provided later. The announcement marks the third major strike wave of Day 9, following the morning 400+ target wave and the afternoon strikes on the IRGC Space HQ and Khayyam satellite command. The evening wave appears to be targeting Tehran again — consistent with the expanding campaign against the capital's military and political infrastructure. The timing follows Trump's afternoon statement that Iran's new supreme leader would need US approval to remain in power, and CENTCOM's safety warning naming Dezful, Isfahan, and Shiraz as cities where Iran is launching from civilian areas. The new wave likely includes targets in those cities. The escalating tempo of strikes — morning, afternoon, evening — reflects the IDF's operational posture of maintaining continuous pressure across the full cycle of a day.
