Tel Aviv:

The Israeli military said it carried out airstrikes on at least six airports in western, eastern and central Iran on Monday and destroyed a refuelling plane, and F-14, F-5, and AH-1 aircraft. The Israeli military also said that it targeted surface-to-surface missile storage facilities in central Iran, as fighting between the two foes raged for the 11th day.

The military said in a statement that more than 15 fighter jets had struck the Kermanshah area in western Iran, "neutralising a number of surface-to-surface missile launch and storage sites aimed toward Israeli territory".

"The IDF continues its efforts to degrade the Iranian Regime's military capabilities and achieve aerial superiority over Iranian airspace in order to protect the State of Israel," the Iranian Defence Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Telegram.

In a statement posted on X, the IDF said its precision strikes "damaged runways, underground bunkers, a refuelling plane, and F-14, F-5, and AH-1 aircraft belonging to the Iranian regime."

The Israeli military said the Iranian aircrafts that were destroyed were intended for use against Israel.

IDF also attached an image in the post that listed the airports at Tehran's Mehrabad, Mashhad, and Dezful as among those targeted.

"The Air Force disrupted the ability to take off from these airports and the operation of the Iranian army's air power from them," the post read.

Israel launched large-scale attacks on Iran on June 13 targeting its missile and nuclear facilities, as well as military leaders and security services.

Aerial assaults raged between the two foes early Monday, while Tehran vowed retaliation over the bunker-buster bombs American warplanes unleashed at the weekend on three nuclear sites.

US President Donald Trump insisted the attack had "obliterated" Iran's nuclear capabilities, but other officials said it was too soon to determine how significantly Tehran's nuclear programme had been impacted.
