The Israeli Air Force claimed that it had dropped over 12,000 bombs in 8,500 strikes on Iranian targets in the first 18 days of the ongoing war. Another three weeks have passed since then, with a lot more damage. The US used advanced ‘bunker buster’ ordnance to hit hardened Iranian nuclear and missile infrastructure.
The collective ordnance dropped on Iran is known to have destroyed its military assets and political leaders, damaged the country’s energy infrastructure and gas fields, and severely impacted its economy, besides killing nearly 1,500 and injuring nearly 18,000. Projectiles have also been reported to have struck near Bushehr, the operational nuclear power plant, though no damage was reportedly caused to the reactor.
