Strike Waves Every Hour
5,500+ targets struck — heavy bombers hit ballistic missile factory
CENTCOM chief Admiral Cooper provided the most comprehensive operational update of the war on Day 12: 5,500+ targets struck inside Iran, 60+ ships destroyed, strike waves 'nearly every hour from different locations and directions' the previous day. Heavy bombers struck a large ballistic missile manufacturing facility overnight. The IDF simultaneously launched a new 'extensive' wave across Iran targeting regime infrastructure, concurrent with a fresh Hezbollah/Beirut wave — maintaining dual-front simultaneous strike tempo. Cooper confirmed the Soleimani-class warship class fully eliminated. 'US combat power building, Iranian combat power declining.' The 5,500 target figure averages 458 per day — one of the most intensive air campaigns in modern military history. Trump told Axios the war was designed as six weeks and is 'way ahead of timetable' — immediately contradicted by Defense Minister Katz declaring 'no time limit' to the campaign.
