(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - The IDF will achieve its objectives against Iran's nuclear program within a week or two, defense officials said Tuesday. They said the air force has destroyed 70 Iranian air defense batteries, while air force drones continued to hunt surface-to-air missile launchers and radars. Iran has been launching smaller salvos of missiles at Israel because its capabilities have been degraded by Israeli strikes, the IDF believes. According to IDF assessments, Iran is not trying to conserve missiles for a longer war, but rather is struggling to coordinate larger attacks. IDF Operations Directorate chief Maj.-Gen. Oded Basiuk said Tuesday that Israel's operation against Iran will not end until the IDF has removed the threat of its nuclear program and ballistic missiles. "We are striking the terror regime, not the people, who deserve a better future. Those who endanger us are the leadership in Tehran," he added.
