Israel will continue its campaign against Iran for at least three more weeks, IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin told CNN on Sunday.
“We have thousands of targets ahead,” Defrin said. “We are ready, in coordination with our US allies, with plans through at least the Jewish holiday of Passover, about three weeks from now."
"We have deeper plans for even three weeks beyond that,” Defrin added.
The IDF Spokesperson's statement came as US Energy Secretary Chris Wright said he expects US operations against Iran to end within "the next few weeks."
"I think that this conflict will certainly come to the end in the next few weeks - could be sooner than that. But the conflict will come to the end in the next few weeks, and we'll see a rebound in supplies and a pushing down in prices after that," Wright told ABC on Sunday.
Updates on Israeli operations in Iran
On Saturday, the Israeli Air Force announced the successful completion of its 400th wave of strikes in Iran as part of Operation Roaring Lion, with targets including its missile stockpiles and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) personnel.
According to IDF intelligence, over 6,000 IRGC members have been killed, and about 15,000 have been wounded thus far in the operation.
Additionally, the IAF has dropped over 10,000 munitions since the war began on February 28, according to the IDF’s Intelligence Directorate (AMAN).
AMAN noted that targets have progressed beyond Iran's military facilities and now include defense industries and security infrastructure.
According to AMAN, IDF strikes in Iran are coordinated with the US military, currently conducting a linked operation against Iran, Operation Epic Fury.
