US-Israel Strike Day 22: 7,200+ Total Targets — Continued Campaign Against Military and Leadership Targets
US and Israeli forces continued the Day 22 strikes against Iran, bringing the cumulative target count to over 7,200 since February 28. The strikes focused on remaining missile infrastructure, IRGC command nodes, and suspected leadership hideouts. CENTCOM confirmed additional strikes on hardened launch sites in southeastern Iran — a region that had previously been less targeted, suggesting intelligence updates on surviving launcher locations. IDF continued targeting Hezbollah infrastructure in Lebanon, with fresh strikes on Bekaa Valley arms depots and Tyre area positions. Lebanon's death toll continued to climb, with reports of additional civilian casualties near IDF strike zones in southern Lebanon. The IDF announced it had now struck approximately 73% of Iran's identified mobile missile launcher fleet and 87% of fixed radar and air defense installations. Pentagon spokesman stated the campaign was 'precisely on track' toward the stated objectives of neutralizing Iran's nuclear and missile program. Defense Secretary Hegseth reiterated that no Iranian offer has met the threshold for ceasefire negotiations. US intelligence officials privately assessed to Congress that Iran's missile launch capacity would fall below 5–10 per day within 7–10 days at current degradation rates.
