Israel Dramatically Expands War with Iran

“Israeli strikes targeting Iranian energy production facilities, manufacturing plants and aviation signaled the start of a wider and more intense phase of the conflict Sunday, as Israeli war planes pursued new targets deeper in Iran’s cities and towns,” the Washington Post reports.

“The targets appear to indicate an expansion of Israel’s war aims beyond the Iranian nuclear facilities that consumed the first days of the conflict. By striking Iranian industry, local security forces and infrastructure, Israel is aiming to degrade the Iranian state, further damage the country’s already reeling economy and possibly trigger regime change.”

Wall Street Journal: Israel takes control of Iran’s skies — a feat that still eludes Russia in Ukraine.
