On Friday, the IDF launched targeted airstrikes on Iranian Air Force installations in western Iran, specifically hitting the “Hamadan” and “Tabriz” bases. These operations were part of Israel’s broader military response to recent Iranian aggression.
According to a statement from the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, the “Tabriz” airbase was effectively taken out of commission as a result of the Israeli strike.
The IDF reported that, in addition to those airbases, its forces successfully destroyed numerous assets tied to Iran’s aerial threat infrastructure. These included facilities connected to the regime’s air defense systems, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and launchers for surface-to-surface missiles.

Since the launch of the operation, Israel has successfully eliminated more than 20 key figures within Iran’s security and military leadership.

In his post, Trump wrote, “President Putin called this morning to very nicely wish me a Happy Birthday, but to more importantly, talk about Iran, a country he knows very well. We talked at length. Much less time was spent talking about Russia/Ukraine, but that will be for next week. He is doing the planned prisoner swaps – large numbers of prisoners are being exchanged, immediately, from both sides. The call lasted approximately 1 hour. He feels, as do I, this war in Israel-Iran should end, to which I explained, his war should also end.”
