Israel Iran Campaign Three Weeks: Military Says Operation Will Continue
Israel has announced that its military campaign against Iran will continue for at least three more weeks, as officials say there are still numerous targets remaining in the ongoing conflict between the two countries.
According to statements from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the operation is expected to continue for several more weeks while Israeli forces carry out strikes against military infrastructure across Iran.
IDF spokesperson Brigadier General Effie Defrin reportedly said the military has identified thousands of targets that remain part of Israel’s operational objectives. The campaign, which has already involved extensive air and missile strikes, is aimed at weakening Iran’s military capabilities and infrastructure.
Israeli officials indicated that the military has been conducting a large number of strikes each day as part of the operation. The campaign has focused on missile launch sites, radar installations, air defense systems, and other strategic facilities believed to support Iran’s military programs.
The conflict between Israel and Iran intensified after a series of attacks and counterattacks across the Middle East earlier this year. The escalating confrontation has involved missile launches, drone strikes, and air operations that have affected several countries in the region.
Since the start of the latest phase of fighting, Iran has launched missiles toward Israeli territory and other regional locations, while Israel has carried out repeated strikes targeting Iranian facilities and military assets.
The ongoing conflict has raised international concern about the possibility of a wider regional war involving other Middle Eastern nations.
Global leaders and international organizations have repeatedly called for restraint and a diplomatic solution to prevent further escalation.
Among those urging peace is Pope Leo, who recently appealed for an immediate ceasefire and condemned the violence affecting civilians in the region.
Analysts say the next few weeks could be critical in determining the direction of the conflict.
Israeli officials believe the extended campaign is necessary to achieve strategic military objectives and reduce what they describe as long-term threats from Iran’s missile and military programs.
Meanwhile, Iranian authorities have vowed to continue resisting Israeli attacks and have warned that retaliation will follow if strikes continue.
The hostilities have already had significant regional consequences, including security concerns around shipping routes in the Persian Gulf and increased military alert levels across several Middle Eastern countries.
Energy markets have also been affected by the tensions, with fears that the conflict could disrupt oil supplies and key shipping lanes such as the Strait of Hormuz.
International observers say that if the fighting continues for several more weeks as predicted, the humanitarian and economic impacts could grow significantly.
The conflict has also heightened fears of broader geopolitical instability, particularly if other regional actors become more directly involved in the confrontation.
Despite these concerns, Israeli military officials maintain that the campaign will continue until operational goals are achieved.
As the war enters another critical phase, the world is closely watching whether diplomatic efforts will emerge to halt the fighting or whether the conflict will continue escalating across the region.
