"The IDF said it continues to operate without respite to strike at the regime's ballistic missile array - Israel Defence Forces"

Jerusalem, March 27

Despite US President Donald Trump making public peace overtures to Iran, the conflict in West Asia continues. Israel Defence Forces on Saturday said that it had struck the Iranian Regime's primary facility for the productions of missiles and sea mines in Yazd, Iran. The IDF claimed that the site was used for the planning, development, assembly, and storage of advanced missiles intended for launch from cruise platforms, submarines, and helicopters toward both mobile and stationary maritime targets.

"In the strikes carried out across Tehran, the Air Force targeted infrastructure and sites used by the regime to produce weaponry, with an emphasis on ballistic missile production sites," the IDF stated.

According to the IDF, in Western Iran, the Air Force, guided by Military Intelligence, struck throughout the night at the fire arrays of the Iranian terror regime. Among the targets attacked were launchers and missile storage sites that pose a threat to the State of Israel. The IDF said it continues to operate without respite to strike at the regime's ballistic missile array, with the aim of reducing the scale of fire toward the citizens of the State of Israel.

Over the past day, the Israel Air Force, guided by intelligence, struck dozens of infrastructures of the Iranian terror regime in approximately 20 fighter jet sorties in western Iran. As part of the sorties, the Air Force struck, among other targets, in Kermanshah and Dezful, and dropped approximately 70 munitions toward sites used for storing and launching ballistic missiles and air defence systems. In addition, soldiers of the Iranian terror regime who operated from these sites were eliminated. The Air Force said it continues to operate without pause to strike the regime's ballistic missile array, with the aim of reducing the scale of fire toward the citizens of the State of Israel.

The IDF further stated that after a lull of nearly eight hours, the IDF has detected a new ballistic missile attack from Iran.

On Thursday, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced the execution of wave 83 of Operation True Promise 4 targeting key American and Israeli military installations across the region with missiles and drones. According to a statement from the IRGC's Public Relations, the operation was dedicated to the "warm-hearted people of the southern strip of the country in the north of the Ever-Persian Gulf" and was conducted under the blessed code "Ya Aba Abdullah Al-Hussein (AS)."

The strikes targeted a range of strategic assets belonging to American and Israeli forces. Among the targets were storage tanks and the oil depot in Ashdod, a military personnel site in the Modi'in settlement, and a US military information exchange centre in the region. The IRGC also claimed to have struck American military bases at Al-Dhafra and Al-Udeiri, along with maintenance and storage hangars for transport aircraft and drones at Ali Al-Salem Air Base.

The cycle of attack and counter-attack is heartbreaking. So many ordinary people, soldiers and civilians alike, are caught in the middle. When will the leaders think of peace? The world has seen enough war. 🙏

From an Indian strategic perspective, this is concerning. A full-blown conflict in West Asia disrupts oil supplies, impacts our economy, and jeopardizes the safety of nearly 9 million Indians working there. Our government's balanced diplomacy is being tested like never before. We must protect our national interests.

The technical details here are staggering—70 munitions, 20 sorties. This isn't a skirmish; it's a calculated military campaign. The IDF's intelligence and precision are formidable, but one has to question the long-term strategy. Does degrading one facility end the threat, or just invite more retaliation?

Iran has been a consistent source of instability, funding proxies across the region. While the strike is aggressive, perhaps it sends a necessary message about red lines. National security comes first, as we in India well understand. Hope our imports from Iran aren't affected further.

With respect, I think the article's repeated use of the term "terror regime" for Iran is a bit one-sided and comes straight from the IDF statement. Journalism should maintain a neutral tone, especially in such volatile situations. The facts of the strike are serious enough on their own.

We welcome thoughtful discussions from our readers. Please keep comments respectful and on-topic.
