Air Supremacy Declared: Phase 2 Begins

On the morning of Day 6, US and Western officials declared air supremacy over Iran. Israeli and US jets are flying uncontested over Iranian territory. Iran's S-300, Bavar-373, and Tor-M1 air defence systems have been effectively destroyed or suppressed across six days of precision strikes. The IDF launched a broad wave of strikes on Tehran government and military infrastructure, including ministry buildings and remaining IRGC command nodes. This marks the transition from Phase 1 (suppression of air defences) to Phase 2: systematic dismantling of Iran's military-industrial capacity and government infrastructure. Without functioning air defences, every fixed facility in Iran is now within reach.
