Strikes Widening In War With Iran

(AP) – The U.S. and Israel are striking a much wider array of targets in Iran than they did during 12 days of war last summer, when their focus was on the country’s nuclear enrichment sites. Experts say the aim now appears to be destroying Iran’s military and weakening the grip of its theocratic rulers. U.S. Central Command alone says it has hit more than 2,000 targets in less than a week, a far heavier barrage than any American bombing campaign in the Middle East in more than a decade. Israel says it has hit hundreds of sites. The bombardment has affected military bases, weapons factories, soldiers and police, and state TV.
