The Israeli Air Force (IAF) has established “full aerial superiority” over the Iranian capital, Tehran, IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said in a press conference on June 16.
Israeli warplanes destroyed a third of Iran’s ballistic missile launchers and disturbed “extensive parts” of its attacks on Israel, according to the spokesman, who said that a total of 65 ballistic missiles and dozens of suicides drones were launched at Israel in two barrages over the past 24 hours,
While Defrin claimed that most of the missiles and drones were intercepted, several impacts were reported across Israel overnight with at least eight people killed.
The spokesman claimed that Iran wanted to launch at least twice as many missiles at Israel overnight. However, 20 missile launchers were simultaneously targeted by the IAF before they could fire.
Some 50 fighter jets and drones also identified and struck missile storage sites, and command centers where Iranian soldiers were gathered to launch the missiles, according to the spokesman.
Since the start of the attack on Iran, codenamed Operation Rising Lion, the IDF said, it has destroyed over 120 Iranian missile launchers, which it says is a third of what the Islamic Republic had.
Additionally, the military says the IAF conducted waves of strikes in the central province of Isfahan overnight, hitting over 100 military targets.
Earlier, the IDF announced that the IAF attacked Quds Force command centers in Tehran. The centers were used “to plan terror attacks against Israel via the Iranian regime’s proxies in the Middle East,” according to the military. Ten centers were reportedly hit.
The IDF also announced that Israeli warplanes struck trucks that attempted to transport air defense systems into Tehran. Footage released by the IDF showed three systems being hit, including a Sevom Khordad transporter erector launcher and radar vehicle.
Of course, not all Israeli strikes hit military targets. According to Iranian media, a fire department building located in the city of Musiyan in the province of Ilam and a hospital in the province of Kermanshah, both located in western Iran, were struck. Iranian officials said that at least 45 of the people killed in the last 24 hours were women and children.
In total, more than 260 people have been killed in Iran since the start of the Israeli attack, with more than 1,400 others wounded.
While Iran is yet to close its airspace, its retaliatory strikes have inflicted some real losses on Israel. The situation could of course shift at any moment.

sa si cumpere j15?
ohh the tough guys are flying sorties…..what will they achieve? iranian nuke will go off soon enough
this is harop drone attacks and not air force. iran has deployed hundreds of launchers which are indeed decoys. israel planes dont fly over deep iran because iran can shot down them using r-27/77missile launched from ground beside israel dont risk an accident and pilot could be captured. usually they launch long rangeair to ground missile ( air to air modification) with a booster, but have small warhead.
the idf are operating their aircraft from syrian airspace and the usa are refuelling them in the air.
i have been informed that the israelis launched their missiles outside of iranian airspace. so how do they have aerial dominance over tehran? let me guess the people who couldn’t tell the truth if their life’s dependent on it are lying again?
israel maintains dominance…..in its diapers, nobody is disputing that one
all the attacks on syria were launched from lebanese airspace when assad was in power, now thanks to that zio puppet julani and his retarded jihadis israel does control syrian airspace .
the pain is only beginning for the arab goatfuckers…heheheh
the american fatass has spoken.
more jew spew
it’s the jewish donkey fuckers you should be worried about…
no, they’re too busy kiddie fiddling to bother the donkeys.
israel is getting banged, iran can rebuild losses of missile launchers, israel do not have the infrastructure to rebuild during wartime to keep up with losses
shlomo and chumpo have just entered a world of pain.
iranians arent arabs or do you mean that after they take iran out of the game they will start mass killing all arabs?
“israel maintains ‘aerial superiority’ over tehran”
sure, they have aerial superiority, which consists in their stinky farts that not only teheran but all the world is smelling. it’s pretty old technology i would say.
it is for this reason that they arrested greta while she went there trying to saving the planets from sionist’s farts.
i hope iran is dealing with all mossad collaborators.
they are being tracked down and dealt with, seem to be mek rather than big noses. they will soon be getting what they deserve.
israeli can only maintain air superiority as long they have their airfields to reload and all those air refueling tankers going to the middle east will be of no use if iran hits the airfields.
the question is, why don’t they blow up their air bases and their planes once they are parked at the airfields?
3 airfields have been hit already, reports of aircraft destroyed on the ground. a lot of zio aircraft have fled to british bases on cyprus. an f35 was forced to land in india – turned out to be british.
erm, it takes less than 24 hrs ro tarmac a runway……… usa is refuelling israeli jets in the air within syrian airspace
i guess then israeli pilots have a plentiful supply of airborne diapers for their bungholios.
iran has just voted to withdraw from the npt. no more visits from iaea spies and zionist puppet grossi. zionist mek proxy terrorists have been hunted down in iran and will soon be dangling from a length of rope. all that remains is to close hormuz. they have sown the wind, now they will reap the whirlwind. 2 days ago that lying pos trump was gloating and jeering that the
people he was negotiating with were now dead. now he is frantically backtracking, trying to deny all knowledge. trump is f***d. the zios are f***d. so are all the western accomplices in zionist war crimes and genocide.
iran helps india with oil but that puppet modi run behind his boses to whom he resell iran oil watch after seven snake head meeting he will come with mediating nonsense.
iran drones help and missile help putin from disgrace and more tank and jet loses.today putin play two face mediating roll instead of support iran like trump support israel and ukraine. shameless puppet he is next.
but how these countries dont invest on unlimited anti aircraft systems to make it impossible foe enemy aircraft to operate,we saw it in serbia,libja,iraq and syria.
because they are too stupid to create one that actually works, also s-300/400 is ineffective against modern airplanes
you can educate a monkey,
but you can not educate a muslim.
this rule, includes turkish muslims too.
all muslims understand from the language that israel teaching them…
other language muslims do not know.
iranian strikes are increasing in power, intensity and effectiveness. last night’s, the 5th barrage, was the strongest to date. by contrast, israel’s air defence is fading. there are clear signs of panic. the zios are frantically going around cap in hand, begging for replacement ad missiles from anybody and everybody. they are clearly running out. they will become increasingly hysterical over the next few days.
