Israel Claims 10,800 Air Strikes on Iran Amid War Tensions

Israel claims it launched over 10,800 airstrikes against Iran during a recent war, which began with the U.S. in late February. The Israeli army reports striking 4,000 strategic targets and 6,700 military sites in Iran. This intense campaign lasted about 40 days and saw dozens of fighter jets in action, using over 18,000 munitions—nearly five times what was used in a previous 12-day campaign last June. What’s interesting is that these claims are unverified, but they highlight the rising tensions in the region. Iran has responded by launching drone and missile strikes against Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and U.S. military sites. The situation escalated to the point where Pakistan, Türkiye, China, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt helped broker a two-week ceasefire, which began this Wednesday. As part of the agreement, both sides are set to meet in Islamabad for peace talks. This matters to listeners because the outcome could shape the stability of a crucial region and affect global security.
