Israel ramped up its aerial campaign Monday, using a drone strike to destroy two F-14 warplanes parked at Tehran airport.
According to an Israeli military statement, these jets were poised to intercept IAF (Israel Air Force) aircraft. The operation also foiled an attempt to launch drones toward Israel.
Earlier in the day, Israeli warplanes struck trucks carrying weapons and surface-to-air missile launchers as they advanced from western Iran toward the capital.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the Israel Air Force now controls the skies over Tehran and is on track to eliminate both the nuclear and missile threats posed by Iran.
For globally minded readers, this sequence of strikes underscores a strategic shift in modern warfare. Precision drones and targeted air operations are redefining how nations project power far from their borders, raising questions about regional stability and the future of high-tech conflict.
