Israel Continues to Pound Iran, Destroys a Third of Iran’s Ballistic Missile Launchers

Reports indicate Israel is also hitting the terror regime’s nuclear sites. Times of Israel: Israel on Sunday attacked dozens of sites in Iran — including energy sites, radar systems, and ballistic missiles and their launchers — and killed Iran’s top intelligence officers on the third day of its ongoing campaign against the Islamic Republic’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. The Israel Defense Forces also bombed an Iranian refueling plane at Mashhad Airport in northeast Iran, some 2,300 kilometers (1,430 miles) from Israel, marking what it said was the most distant strike since the beginning of the operation (Times of Israel).

Jerusalem Post: Surface-to-surface missile sites in central Iran have been struck by the IDF overnight between Sunday and Monday, the military said. Saudi state-owned news source Al-Arabiya reported that Israeli forces had struck targets in the area of the city of Natanz in central Iran. Other initial reports stated Israeli forces were simultaneously carrying out large-scale attacks on other nuclear sites across Iran…. Hours before the Israeli strikes, a 2.5 magnitude earthquake was reported in the Qom Province near the Fordow nuclear facility, according to the Iranian Seismological Center. Around the same time, Iranian media reported Israeli airstrikes at the Fordow nuclear facility (Jerusalem Post).

By: Yonah Jeremy Bob, Jerusalem Post, June 16, 2025:

IDF Chief Spokesman Brig.-Gen. Effie Defrin on Monday announced that the air force has destroyed a third of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers, 120 in total.

Each launcher could have fired dozens of missiles over the course of the current war.

Overnight, Defrin said that the air force also destroyed 20 ballistic missiles that were on their way to being fired. This means that given that Iran fired 40 ballistic missiles, it would have fired at least 60, without getting into how many missiles it lost the ability to fire, given its losses in the area of missile launchers.

Also, Defrin said that the air force launched 50 aircraft, which struck around 100 targets over the course of the last day.
