In a targeted strike an Israeli Air Force F-35I Adir fighter jet took out a loaded surface-to-surface missile launcher in western Iran.

Phase two of Operation Epic Fury and Roaring Lion focused on degrading Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities, including its infrastructure, launchers, and other facilities.

The strikes came hours after U.S. bombers joined the attack, hitting nuclear facilities at Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz.

Missile launchers are particularly vulnerable during the launch phase.

In a stunning escalation, Israel shattered Iran’s air defenses, struck deep into Tehran, eliminated over 20 top IRGC commanders, and crippled key nuclear facilities—all within 48 hours of launching its broadest-ever military campaign inside the Islamic Republic.
