Israel strikes Iranian regime’s military fuel facilities

Israeli and American forces have been relentlessly striking the Iranian regime as part of Israel’s “Operation Roaring Lion” and the US “Operation Epic Fury,” targeting air defences, command-and-control networks and its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

US Central Command (CENTCOM), whose military responsibility covers the Middle East, published pictures of some of the Israeli and American warplanes being used to degrade the Iranian regime’s military and terrorist capabilities, writing on X on Saturday that “the world’s two greatest Air Forces continue to dominate the skies over Iran”.

The IAF struck two of the Iranian regime’s main ballistic missile production sites as part of expanded strikes in recent days targeting the Islamic Republic’s weapons-manufacturing industries, Israel’s military said on Saturday.

Hundreds of fighter jets bombed the sites, which the IDF said were located in the areas of Parchin and Shahrud. In Thursday’s strike in Parchin, warplanes hit infrastructure used to produce key components for Iranian weapons, including plants for explosive materials for ballistic missile warheads, facilities making specialised missile engine materials, a missile engine mixing and casting site and a complex for developing and assembling advanced cruise missiles.

In a separate overnight strike, Israeli forces hit an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ballistic missile production site near Shahrud that had been rebuilt after a previous attack during “Rising Lion”, the 12-day war in June 2025. The IDF described the facility as a key source of missiles fired at Israel and the region and said the raid severely damaged Iran’s ability to continue producing missiles there.

The IAF hit Iranian military compounds containing F14 fighter jets at Isfahan’s airport on Saturday as part of a “broad wave of strikes,” the military said on Sunday morning, adding that Israeli fighter jets also targeted detection and air defence systems.

Overnight Friday, the IAF struck military infrastructure at Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport that the IDF said the IRGC’s Quds Force used as a hub to arm and fund regional terror proxies, destroying 16 planes transferring weapons to Hezbollah and targeting several Iranian fighter jets that threatened Israeli aircraft operating in Iranian airspace.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Saturday that the Jewish state’s military still had “many surprises” in store aimed at destabilising the Islamic Republic and enabling change in Tehran.

“We have many more targets and I will not detail them here,” the premier stated in a Hebrew-language address to the nation.

Jerusalem is working according to “an organised plan”, he continued.

“To Revolutionary Guard operatives, those who tyrannise the Iranian people in the streets, I say only this: You, too, are in the crosshairs,” Netanyahu said, adding that “no harm” would come to those who surrender and lay down their weapons.

“Through our daring pilots and those of the U.S., we achieved almost total control of Iranian skies,” he said. “With each passing day, we’re peeling away more and more of the Iranian regime’s capabilities.”
