IDF Spokesman Defrin: 'Within a few days' all critical Iranian defense production sites will be struck — 'long time to restore'

The IDF released a strategic assessment confirming the near-completion of its campaign against Iran's military-industrial base. According to the military, the Israeli Air Force has 'targeted thousands of assets of Iran's military industry amid the war, or around 70%,' and says it is 'now close to having targeted around 90% of the key sites used to develop weapons that threaten Israel.' The assessment covers the full breadth of Iran's defense industrial base: ballistic missiles, air defense systems, naval weapons production, cyber capabilities, and spy satellite manufacturing. Iran's defense industry is described as 'extensive, with numerous military bodies and private companies manufacturing weapon systems or components.' The 90% target timeline of 'coming days' aligns precisely with VP Vance's Day 29 statement that the US will continue the conflict 'a little while longer' before exiting. Together, the two statements suggest a coordinated US-Israeli endgame: a final intensive targeting phase lasting days to weeks, followed by a transition out of active kinetic operations. The MIO HQ bombing (naval weapons R&D) confirmed overnight is consistent with the 70→90% completion push.
