TBN Israel’s Yair Pinto and Mati Shoshani report on the Israel-Iran and regional war. IRAN: Day 16 of the Lion’s Roar war, and the campaign is now focused not only on launchers and interceptions, but on systematically dismantling Iran’s regime infrastructure, drone arrays, command centers, and economic lifelines. Yair reports that the Israeli Air Force has carried out nearly 1,500 strike sorties, while Iranian regime infrastructure in western Iran was hit in another broad wave of strikes. In one unusual operation, Israeli aircraft tracked Iranian drone-array soldiers fleeing a storage site and eliminated them in real time.
KHARG ISLAND: The American strike on Kharg Island has turned Iran’s oil lifeline into the center of the war. Kharg is described as vital to Iran’s economic survival, with storage, loading, and export infrastructure that serves as a strategic nerve center for the regime. Even without directly destroying the oil terminals, Yair explains that hitting the island’s military and security envelope sends a message that Washington can squeeze Iran’s economic heart whenever it chooses.
