IDF Opens Day 26 With New Strike Wave on Tehran Regime Infrastructure

The Israeli Air Force launched a new wave of airstrikes on Iranian regime infrastructure in Tehran at the opening of Day 26 — the continuation of a sustained attritional campaign that has now struck 50+ Iranian targets in a single overnight operation, destroyed Isfahan's main explosives production facility, and hit the vicinity of the Bushehr nuclear power plant on Day 25. The Day 26 opening strikes target IRGC command nodes and regime infrastructure in the capital, signaling Israel's intent to maintain pressure on Iranian decision-making centers even as US-Iran diplomatic talks proceed via Pakistan. Israeli Ambassador Danon stated clearly on Day 25: 'As we speak, Israel and the US continue to target military targets in Iran, and we will continue to do that.' The strike comes simultaneously with the first Iran-aligned proxy attack on Kuwait territory (airport drone) and a fresh overnight Iranian missile barrage that injured 12 Israelis. The dual-track pressure — Israeli offensive in Tehran, Iranian missiles on Israeli cities — defines the conflict dynamic as the Trump peace plan reaches Tehran via Pakistan.
