Israel Defense Forces has said it plans to continue its military campaign against Iran for at least three more weeks, as tensions between the two countries continue to escalate in the Middle East.

The Israeli military said thousands of targets still remain as it intensifies operations aimed at weakening Iran’s military infrastructure and capabilities.

Speaking to CNN on Sunday, IDF spokesperson Effie Defrin said the military has long-term operational plans already in place.

“We have thousands of targets ahead,” Defrin said. “We are ready, in coordination with our US allies, with plans through at least the Jewish holiday of Passover, about three weeks from now. And we have deeper plans for even three weeks beyond that.”

According to the IDF, since the start of the Iran campaign on February 28, the Israeli Air Force has carried out roughly 400 waves of strikes in western and central Iran. The operations have focused on dismantling key infrastructure and targeting operatives involved in Iran’s military, defense, and weapons production units.

Israeli officials say the United States and Israel have already struck thousands of targets since the war began, marking one of the most intense periods of military confrontation between the two nations in recent years.

Defrin said the military campaign is not being conducted under strict time pressure but is instead focused on achieving strategic objectives.

“We are not working according to a stopwatch, or a timetable, but rather to achieve our goals,” he said.

He added that Israel’s primary objective is to significantly weaken the Iranian government and its military capabilities, amid growing fears that the conflict could expand further across the region.
