The IDF has entered what Israeli chief of staff Eyad Zamir has called the “second phase” of the war against Iran. It has been striking Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targets — training centers, the IRGC military university, and a missile assembly compound — in western and central Iran. More on what it has managed to do recently can be found here: “IDF targets IRGC’s Air Force situation room, aircraft used to transfer weapons to Hezbollah,” by Tobias Holcman, Jerusalem Post, March 7, 2026:
A fleet of over 80 Israel Air Force fighter jets completed another wave of strikes targeting infrastructure belonging to the Iranian regime in Tehran, which included the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Air Force situation room, which was key to the air defense systems in Iran and was located in the heart of Tehran, the IDF announced early Saturday.
The strikes also targeted 16 aircraft belonging to the elite Quds Force that were being used to transfer weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon, the military said.
An earlier IDF statement said that several military sites were struck, including the main IRGC military university, the Imam Hossein University, which was used for the training of IRGC officers and as an emergency asset, and, most recently, an IRGC assembly compound during Operation Rising Lion.
The university contained multiple military assets used by the IRGC.
A storage site of the Iranian missile unit, in which military bunkers and launching infrastructure were located were also targeted, as well as underground infrastructure used for storing ballistic missiles where hundreds of regime operatives were operating. The site included military bunkers and command centers housing senior officials of the Iranian regime, the IDF said.
Iran’s store of missiles were struck, and its anti-missile defense systems further degraded. Several of the plants where the missiles were built were also destroyed. Some reports suggest that the Iranians no longer have a single ballistic missile plant still intact.
Every day brings fresh reports of destruction of underground bunkers, including those housing command-and-control centers, of arsenals of missiles, drones, and launching pads devastated, of senior officials who, continuing to live in Khamenei’s own bunker, underneath the leadership’s compound in the capital, were killed, because they apparently believed that having killed Khamenei, the Israelis would think there was no need to hit it again. The IDF knew that the bunker was one of the most important military command centers, and fifty Israeli planes attacked it, dropping bombs one after the other, to make sure it was entirely destroyed, along with IRGC commanders in the bunker who thought they would be safe.
Israel now owns the skies over Iran. Not a single Israeli plane or pilot has been lost, while thousands of targets have been hit across Iran. The supporters of the Islamic regime are surely in despair, experiencing defeat on every side as their stock of ballistic missiles plummets. Recognizing the folly of attacking neighboring Arab states, and wanting to husband Iran’s ballistic missiles for attacks on the Jewish state, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has apologized to the Arab states and promised to end those attacks on them as long as Iran is no longer attacked from those states.
But does Pezeshkian, considered an Iranian “moderate,” have the authority to ensure that such a promise will be kept? After he made that promise, Iranian ballistic missiles and drones struck targets in Saudi Arabia, including the Prince Sultan Air Base, the Shaybah oilfield, and locations near Riyadh. In Bahrain, on March 7, Iranian missiles struck the Israeli Embassy, anoil facility, and a hotel. In the UAE, again after Pezeshkian made his promise not to hit the Arab states if there were no attacks on Iran originating from their territories, Iranian missiles struck urban centers and civilian buildings in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai. In Qatar, sirens were heard, and apparently struck near the Al-Udeid air base.
Within the next few days and weeks, we will see if President Pezeshkian’s promise not to hit Iran’s neighbors will now be kept, or whether the IRGC, determined to sow chaos and confusion in the region, and to disrupt the world energy markets, continues to hit the Arab oil states.

I wonder if “President” and regime stooge Masoud “Madman” Pezeshkian ever considers or contemplates that his only future is eternal hellfire. May an Israeli or American missile hasten his future. He is an absolute garbage human being and apologist for a totalitarian state that is a direct heir of Nazi Germany. Eat shit, Pezeshkian.

As the Little Satan and the Big Satan demolish Allah’s Shia Muslim Terrorist Iranian State, the Muslims in the West perform Jihad attacks with their MONEY and with their LIVES against Non-Muslims as taught by Allah in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 9:5; 29; 111; 49:15, etc.). Muslims form Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Enterprises from Muslims Homes, Mosques, Muslim Schools, Islamic Centers, etc. to attacks Non-Muslims. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed jihad with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.”

What I’m not getting is – why isn’t Israel targeting pro-regime rallies for “al-Quds Day”? They’re treating the rally-goers as civilians. Israel is doing a great thing by backing the protesters wherever they can, but for pro-regime civilians, they shouldn’t distinguish b/w them and the regime. For example, one of the 3-man leadership – Judiciary head Ejei – came out, and there were bombs going off around him, but the crowd around him, all pro-regime supporters, weren’t targeted. They should have been
Also, Israel needs to take out everybody who is anybody in the regime – Pezeshkian, Aragchi,…. I saw a poster out w/ a 10 million reward for Mojtaba, and Larijani’s name was in it, but it needs to include all the political leaders of the regime as well. That is what this second phase of the war should be
Once that is done, Reza Pahlavi’s transition team needs to be invited to take over, and Iranians invited to work w/ him in establishing a new government

The Israel Air Force along with President Trump who is doing the right thing by using the US air power to further the collapse of that brutal cruel oppressive and murderous tyrannical regime of Iran. Then Iranian people might be now able to establish a legitimate government, which ensure and respects basic human rights..
Therefore , many Iranian Americans had been dancing the ” Trump Dance ” out of joy at the downfall of that awful tyranny of Iran ,but they should dance because ayatollah and mullahs who had so much power in that Islamic regime do hate dancing with a strong passion. Therefore, those Iranians by their dancing are “getting the goat” of those Muslim clerics. So dancing then is a very good thing do.
Furthermore,, that oppressive and misery inflection tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran, which has as its official title “The Islamic Republic of Iran” has fundamentalist Islam as its foundation..
Fundamentalist Islam hates music and dancing so it forbids to such activities for Muslims Likewise to that is that there is no room for festive activities , music, dancing, happiness fun or humor or genuine in happiness.
As , the now dead, Ayatollah Khomeini had declared “The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There can be no…joy in whatever is serious.” [1]

Westman says
President Pezeshkian is already discredited. Iran is the poster villian of nationalized Islam just as Germany was the poster villian of “national socialism”.
The Iranian Regime’s attacks on Sunni neighbors cemented its image as a perverted, barbaric, branch of Islam that should not be forgiven. Nothing short of Regime Change will restore relations and until then, Iran’s government is a deserved pariah.

Hit them and hit them hard, this Iran regime must be destroyed.
