On the evening of April 3, 2026, East 8 Time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that a joint strike aimed at Iranian military targets and infrastructure had commenced in collaboration with the United States and would continue. In his statements, he characterized this operation as a systematic blow to Iran's military-industrial system and economic lifeblood, rather than a one-time raid. The most eye-catching claim was that Israel asserted it has "destroyed approximately 70% of Iran's steel production capacity," but this figure has only appeared in a single source thus far and has not been confirmed by any independent media or third-party organizations. Therefore, this military action was packaged from the outset as a long war aimed at gradually weakening Iran's financial and military capabilities while also planting controversy and doubts about the numbers and information disclosed regarding the outcomes of the strikes.

Escalation of Joint Airstrikes: Netanyahu's Long-term War Narrative

From Netanyahu's public statements, the joint strike with the United States is deliberately defined as a "sustained action," rather than a limited punitive airstrike. He emphasized that the operation would target Iran's military objectives and infrastructure in conjunction with the U.S., using phrases like "systematic" and "sustained," which convey a narrative of a long-term game and phased progress in the war. This framing is both a display of determination domestically and an external portrayal of a "new phase" in the regional security landscape.

The targets specifically named include Iranian military commanders and key infrastructure such as bridges. The former directly points to the command chain of the Iranian military and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, representing a typical "decapitation/disruption of command capability" obj
