In the ongoing joint military operation against Iran, the Israeli Air Force (IAF), Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and United States Air Force (USAF) have conducted multiple precision strikes over the past 24 hours, focusing on degrading Iran's command structures, missile capabilities, and strategic infrastructure. These actions, part of the broader "Operation Roaring Lion" by Israel and "Operation Epic Fury" by the US, come amid retaliatory Iranian missile launches toward Israel and regional targets.
According to recent reports, the IDF announced that the IAF executed strikes on over 200 targets in western and central Iran during the day ending March 15, including missile-related facilities and defense sites.
This wave involved hundreds of aircraft sorties, with a focus on eliminating threats to Israeli airspace superiority.
Overnight into March 16, US forces carried out a major operation on Kharg Island, Iran's key oil export hub in the Persian Gulf. The strike destroyed naval mine storage depots, missile bunkers, and over 90 other military targets while deliberately sparing civilian oil infrastructure to avoid broader economic disruption.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) described the action as "precise and wide-ranging," emphasizing its role in neutralizing threats to international shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.In a high-profile joint US-Israeli strike early on March 16, airstrikes targeted an underground Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) command and control center in Tehran. Based on credible intelligence, the operation reportedly killed more than 50 senior IRGC officials who were allegedly planning further attacks.
