Israel Iran War: Israel wreaks havoc on Iran as IDF destroys military airports and fighter jets, warns of..., says objective is...
New Delhi: The situation in West Asia is deteriorating rapidly. The military deadlock in the region has deepened after the US attack on Iran's three major nuclear bases. In response to this attack, Iran rained missiles on Israel's major cities Tel Aviv and Haifa. Immediately after this, Israel also adopted an aggressive stance and launched a major attack on Iran's military capabilities. Now the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has claimed that it has destroyed 15 fighter planes and helicopters by targeting six military airbases of Iran. Heavy damage to Iranian Air Force
The IDF has said that the Iranian planes that were targeted were being prepared with the aim of attacking Israeli planes and stopping Israeli operations. In this action, a total of 15 aerial combat machines including helicopters have been claimed to be destroyed. Missile bases attacked
According to the IDF statement, based on information from their military intelligence agency, several launch and storage sites of surface-to-surface missiles were also destroyed in Iran's Kermanshah region. These missiles were being prepared for a possible attack against Israel. Israel's objective: Ensuring air supremacy and security
The IDF has made it clear that it is constantly weakening the military capabilities of the Iranian regime and will intensify attacks in the future as well. Their objective is to ensure Israel's air security and maintain regional air supremacy.
This Israeli attack took place a day after Iran fired missiles at Israel in response to the US air strike. Iran's response came immediately after the US bombed Iran's Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites and now Israel has also further advanced its military operation.

Iranian Navy helicopter confronts U.S. destroyer in Gulf of Oman
An Iranian Navy helicopter confronted a U.S. warship attempting to approach Iranian territorial waters in the Gulf of Oman on Wednesday (July 23, 2025), Iranian state TV reported. The incident was the first direct encounter reported between Iranian and U.S. forces since the 12-day war between Iran and Israel, during which U.S. B-52 bombers targeted Iranian nuclear facilities. The report said Iranian forces dispatched the helicopter to confront a U.S. Navy destroyer identified as the USS Fitzgerald that approached the waters at around 10 a.m. local time. The report said the helicopter flew directly over the U.S. ship and issued a warning to maintain distance. In what the report described as a tense exchange, the U.S. warship reportedly responded by threatening to target the Iranian aircraft if it did not leave the area. The Navy referred requests for comment to the US Central Command, which said it would provide a response later Wednesday or early Thursday (July 24, 2025). The Iranian state TV report said that in response to the threats from the U.S. vessel, Iranian air defence forces announced that the helicopter was under the full protection of Iran's integrated air defence system. Eventually the USS Fitzgerald 'retreated southward,' the report said. It was not immediately clear how close the U.S. warship was to Iranian territorial waters.

Iran agrees to let technical team from IAEA visit country after US 'Op Midnight Hammer' strikes
'The delegation will come to Iran to discuss the modality, not to go to the (nuclear) sites,' Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said. He was in New York for meetings at the UN. read more Iran on Wednesday (July 23) confirmed that it had agreed to allow a team from the International Atomic Energy Agency to visit the country in the coming weeks. Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said the team from the United Nations nuclear watchdog would discuss relations between IAEA and Tehran. 'The delegation will come to Iran to discuss the modality, not to go to the (nuclear) sites,' Gharibabadi said. He was in New York for meetings at the UN. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD IAEA has said that its chief Rafael Grossi is actively engaging with all the parties involved in the 'Iran nuclear issue." Concerns after Israel, US' strikes IAEA officials have stressed the urgency of restoring access to Iranian nuclear facilities after last month's air strikes by Israel and the United States, which targeted key components of Iran's nuclear infrastructure. Those attacks, aimed at impeding Tehran's ability to develop a nuclear weapon, have severely disrupted the IAEA's ability to verify the status of enriched uranium stocks and other critical components of Iran's nuclear programme. Tehran maintains that its nuclear activities remain peaceful and that no effort is underway to develop atomic weapons. Gharibabadi said Iran's Atomic Energy Organization is still assessing damage from the attacks. 'We do not know what has happened there … because of the risks of the radiation,' he said. 'Our Atomic Energy Organization is assessing, actually, the damages to the nuclear installations, and we are waiting to receive their report.' Diplomatic concerns have mounted over the fate of some 400 kg of highly enriched uranium, with the IAEA yet to receive an update from Iran regarding the material's status. The watchdog has deemed full resumption of inspections essential to rebuilding international confidence. Iran reluctant to share data with IAEA Gharibabadi claimed the IAEA has not formally inquired about the uranium and added, 'we cannot say anything now because we do not have any valid and credible report from (Iran's) Atomic Energy Organization.' The comment shows Tehran's continued reluctance to share data in the absence of what it deems a secure inspection environment. In June, the IAEA sparked Iranian ire by stating on the eve of the Israeli strikes that Tehran was in violation of non-proliferation treaty commitments, complicating the possibility of progress in any renewed talks over Iran's nuclear programme. Looking ahead, Gharibabadi said he would meet counterparts from Britain, France and Germany in Istanbul on Friday. These countries, along with China and Russia, remain signatories to the 2015 nuclear deal from which the United States withdrew in 2018. The agreement traded sanctions relief for restrictions on Iran's atomic activities. Alongside this track, Iran and the US have engaged in five rounds of indirect negotiations mediated by Oman since the beginning of the year. With inputs from agencies
