TEHRAN- Iran’s military forces have intensified their operations against U.S. and Israeli positions, launching a new wave of drone and missile strikes across Israel and the wider West Asia region, according to official statements released on Wednesday.

The Iranian Army said it had carried out drone attacks targeting the positions of U.S. Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) and refueling aircraft, as well as associated radar and electronic warfare facilities. The strikes reportedly focused on locations linked to U.S. military activity, including sites at Ben Gurion Airport and installations in the United Arab Emirates.
