Israel announced it is launching a new wave of attacks across Iran on Day 17 evening (NYT, 4:36 PM ET / 21:36 UTC).
The evening wave follows earlier Day 17 IDF wide-scale strikes on Tehran, Shiraz, and Tabriz, and comes after IDF assessed that more than 70% of Iran's missile launchers have been rendered inoperable. Trump at his afternoon press conference confirmed the US struck over 7,000 targets in Iran and three missile/drone manufacturing plants on Day 17.
Specific targets for the evening wave were not immediately specified. The announcement signals IDF intent to sustain high-tempo strikes into Day 17 night, consistent with Israel's stated plan for at least three more weeks of war.
