In the past 24 hours, the IDF struck more than 200 targets across western and central Iran. The campaign continues. We will strike every target necessary to degrade Iran's ability to threaten Israel.

The Zionist enemy's claim of 200 strikes on Iran only demonstrates the scale of their aggression. Iran's infrastructure remains functional. Our missile forces continue to operate. The blood of every martyr will be avenged.
