Prime Minister Netanyahu said Israel struck Iran's bridges and 'so many targets,' causing cumulative damage to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' economy measured in hundreds of billions of dollars. He asserted that Iran's recovery will take 'a long time,' without detailing specific strikes or a timeline.
Prime Minister Netanyahu made the statement on Sunday evening, asserting that Israel's campaign against Iran has inflicted a cumulative blow of hundreds of billions of dollars on the economy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). "We struck their bridges. We struck so many targets," he said. "The cumulative damage we caused to the 'IRGC economy' is not measured in millions, not in hundreds of millions, and not even in tens of billions. It is measured in hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars."
Netanyahu added that Iran's recovery will take "a long time," though he did not specify a timeline or name which bridges or facilities were hit. The remarks come amid an ongoing Israeli air campaign targeting Iranian military and nuclear infrastructure, which U.S. President Trump has said destroyed roughly 55% of Iran's rebuilt air defenses and radars as of June 10. The Zioneer has previously reported on Netanyahu's assessments of damage in Lebanon and his coordination with President Trump. The claim on the IRGC economy is not independently verified; it represents the Prime Minister's own characterization of the campaign's scale.
