Israel Defense Forces has been ordered by political leaders to pivot toward
striking Iran’s economic assets as it nears completion of initial war
objectives, according to The Times of Israel. After conducting hundreds of
strikes and dropping over 13,000 bombs on military and nuclear-related sites,
officials say Iran’s weapons production capacity has been severely degraded. New
targets include gas infrastructure and major steel plants, aimed at inflicting
economic damage. The U.S., led by Donald Trump, continues to lead efforts on
Iran’s nuclear program and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
