PANews reported on March 15th, citing CNNC, that an IDF military spokesperson stated that the military operation against Iran will continue for at least another three weeks, with thousands of targets still awaiting strikes. IDF spokesperson Defririn stated, "We still have thousands of targets ahead of us. We are prepared, coordinating with our US allies, and the operational plan covers at least until Passover (approximately three weeks later). After that, we have a more in-depth plan that will last for more than three weeks." Defririn indicated that the IDF is not working according to a timetable, but rather to achieve its objectives. He added that Israel's goal is to "severely weaken the Iranian regime."
