The New York Times, citing the Pentagon, reported on Friday that 11,000 targets inside Iran were bombed during five weeks of military operations.
The same newspaper confirmed, based on sources in the White House, that missile and drone attacks launched by Iran had decreased by 90 percent.
It also indicated that there are disagreements within the Iranian government that hinder the ability to carry out large-scale missile strikes.
In a related context, the Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported on Friday that estimates by Israeli officials indicate that the war with Iran may continue for more than an additional two weeks.
The authority pointed out that the goals set by the United States and Israel require the approval of “US President Donald Trump.”
A review conducted by the Washington Post, and an analysis by experts, revealed that 4 major ballistic missile manufacturing sites in Iran, in addition to at least 29 sites for launching these missiles, were damaged during the first four weeks of the US-Israeli attack, which weakened Tehran’s basic military strategy.
In a related context, informed sources told the “Israel Hayom” newspaper, on Friday, that the United States informed Israel that the talks with Iran had reached a dead end.
The newspaper quoted a diplomatic source as saying that “lack of trust” represents the main obstacle to achieving any progress in the negotiations.
The source explained that Tehran insists on an immediate ceasefire with international guarantees that attacks will not resume, while Washington requires conditions, including the complete and unconditional reopening of the “Strait of Hormuz,” and the handover of all stocks of enriched uranium.
The report indicated that the American and Israeli sides are preparing to expand the scope of the strikes for at least an additional 10 days, with a focus on the infrastructure of the “Iranian Revolutionary Guard” and civilian facilities used by the regime, in an attempt to undermine Tehran’s ability to finance its military activities.
