Interim Summary of Achievements After Three Days of Fighting – Ido Keynan

Iran’s Achievements:

Approximately 380 ballistic missiles were launched from Iran toward Israel.
Around 100 UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) were launched from Iran toward Israel.
24 Israeli civilians were killed as a result of the ballistic missile attacks, and hundreds more were injured—most sustaining light injuries.
Significant structural damage occurred at multiple impact sites across Israel.

Israel’s Achievements:

Around 120 out of 360 Iranian ballistic missile launchers were destroyed.
Approximately 15 senior nuclear scientists were eliminated.
Dozens of high-ranking Iranian security officials were killed, including:
The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)
The Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces
Heads of Iranian intelligence, including IRGC intelligence
The commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force and his senior staff
The commander of Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters
The police chief of Tehran

Iran’s air defense systems were either destroyed or rendered ineffective — Israel has achieved total air superiority over Iranian skies.

The Natanz nuclear facility was destroyed.

The Isfahan nuclear facility was destroyed.

The heavy water facility in Arak was targeted.

Minor damage was inflicted on surrounding infrastructure near the Fordow nuclear facility, which lies 90 meters underground.

Several government offices in Tehran were attacked.

Hangars housing Iranian fighter jets were destroyed.

At least one aerial refueling aircraft was destroyed.

Several economic targets were attacked:

Fuel depots and a refinery in Tehran

The Fajr Jam refinery at the Bushehr gas field

Reports today indicate attacks on refining facilities in Kermanshah

Mossad agents are reportedly operating freely on Iranian soil, carrying out assassinations and sophisticated operations from within Iran.

Residents of Tehran are fleeing their homes. Iranian citizens are fleeing the country.

According to Iran’s Health Ministry, as of last night there were 224 confirmed deaths and 1,277 injured.

Israel is receiving full military support from the United States and enjoys international legitimacy across the Western world.

Momentum

Iran’s main weapon currently threatening Israel’s home front is its ballistic missile arsenal. Within just three days of combat, Iran has lost one-third of its launch capabilities — a trend expected to continue as time progresses.

Israel began the campaign with a strategic surprise, quickly achieving air superiority over Iran. This dominance enables Israel to systematically target a wide range of objectives inside Iran with minimal resistance and according to a well-defined operational plan.

With each passing day, Israeli accomplishments grow, while Iran’s military capacity to withstand the IDF continues to erode. There are no aces left up Iran’s sleeve.

If in just three days the IDF has managed to neutralize one-third of Iran’s most threatening weaponry, one can only imagine what the situation will be in two weeks’ time.

Time is on Israel’s side. The Iranian regime is in retreat. Should the current trend persist, the regime’s stability will be further undermined — opposition forces inside and outside Iran are waiting for just such a moment.

Israel is on the path to a resounding victory over one of its fiercest enemies, marking a dramatic shift in the balance of power in the Middle East. Momentum is clearly on Israel’s side.
