IDF claims over 400 targets hit in Iran in 24 hours and warns: 'We will pursue Khamenei's successor'

The IDF spokesperson announces that the air force has completed an extensive wave of attacks in the last 24 hours in western and central Iran, during which more than 400 targets of the Iranian regime were hit, including ballistic missile launchers and weapons production sites.

Regarding the next leadership of Iran after Khamenei, the IDF also announces in a post on X in Farsi. This is reported by BBC and CNN. "After the elimination of the tyrant, the Iranian terrorist regime is attempting to reorganize and choose a new Supreme Leader: the long arm of the State of Israel will continue to pursue the successor and anyone who attempts to appoint him." This is reported by BBC and CNN. "We warn all those who intend to participate in the selection meeting of the successor that we will not hesitate to target you as well. This is a warning," emphasizes the post.

Israeli media, on the other hand, report that "the United Arab Emirates have attacked for the first time in Iran", emphasizing that the attack targeted an Iranian desalination plant. "Israel believes that the raid is, for now, only a signal to the Iranian regime, however, if attacks from Tehran were to escalate, there is a real possibility - Israeli media report - that the Emirates may join the conflict in a limited way.

Abu Dhabi has meanwhile announced that "air defenses detected 17 ballistic missiles, of which 16 were destroyed, while one fell into the sea. Also detected were 117 drones, of which 113 were intercepted and 4 fell on national territory".
