Israel has pivoted its air campaign from targeting Iran’s regime to
systematically degrading its military-industrial base, striking missile, drone
and naval production sites after more than 18,000 U.S.-Israel attacks. The shift

Israeli officials assess Iran’s capabilities have been significantly reduced,
though not eliminated.
Farzin Nadimi, senior fellow at the Washington Institute, said, “It looks like
it’s moving…to reduce Iran’s military capabilities before they call it a day,”
adding strikes have been “very systematic and meticulous.”
