Israel is prepared for the war with Iran to continue until Passover, a senior Israeli official told public broadcaster KAN News on Monday.
The duration of the war, the official stated, may depend on the Iranian people. A signal for them to take to the streets has not yet been given, but it is expected soon, KAN noted, citing sources familiar with the matter.
Additionally, recent security cabinet meetings judged that the rate of fire coming from Iran is expected to slow down due to damage inflicted by the days of Israeli and US strikes. According to the KAN report, the Iranian regime only has around 200 missile launchers left.
On Tuesday, the IDF revealed that it had destroyed approximately 300 Iranian missile launchers since the beginning of Operation Roaring Lion.
On Wednesday, the military announced that it had dropped 5,000 bombs on Iran since the operation began on Saturday.
Ghadr-class ballistic missiles and launch platforms were targeted and destroyed during Israeli strikes, further diminishing the Iranian regime’s firing capabilities.
Iran strikes to continue until all objectives achieved
Additionally, US President Donald Trump, in a Sunday video posted on Truth Social, asserted that strikes against Iran will not cease until all of the US’s objectives are achieved.
"Combat operations continue at this time in full force, and they will continue until all of our objectives are achieved. We have very strong objectives," he said.
In a Monday interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Trump stated that he “always thought it would be four weeks” before the operation concluded, but noted that the US and Israel are running “a little ahead of schedule.”
