U.S. claims strikes caused ‘severe damage’ and warns Iran against retaliation

The Israeli military said it had attacked six airports in western, eastern and central Iran, destroying 15 aircraft and helicopters as part of its “effort to deepen air superiority in Iranian skies.”

“The strikes damaged runways, underground bunkers, a refueling aircraft, and F-14, F-5, and AH-1 aircraft belonging to the Iranian regime,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement. “The aircraft that were destroyed were intended for use against Air Force aircraft and to thwart their attacks on Iranian territory.”

“The Air Force disrupted the ability to take off from these airports and the operation of the Iranian army’s air power from them,” the statement added.
