Over 1,900 Iranian Warfighters Killed in Ongoing Strikes, Israel Says.
Rojoef Manuel • March 10, 2026.

Israel has revealed that more than 1,900 of Tehran’s troops and commanders have been killed since the start of the conflict, as airstrikes continue across Iran.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin announced the figure, adding that thousands of others have been wounded in the campaign.

“We have many more targets; it is an ongoing effort, and we are deepening the blows to all levels of the regime,” The Times of Israel quoted him as saying.

Recent Operations.

According to the IDF, Israeli warplanes have struck military sites across Iran’s capital, Tehran, the central city of Isfahan, and southern regions since the start of the offensive in late February.

Attacks included six Iranian military airports and aircraft linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force.

Those strikes destroyed 16 transport aircraft allegedly used to move weapons and funding to Iran-backed groups across the Middle East, Ynet News reported.

Operations have also expanded to Lebanon, where the IDF reported striking more than 700 Hezbollah targets.

In Beirut, Israeli airstrikes targeted 35 high-rise buildings used by the group.

Meanwhile, Israeli officials confirmed that a second person died from an Iranian missile strike, raising the total civilian death toll in Israel from Iranian attacks to 12.

Two Israeli soldiers were also killed in clashes with the Iran-backed Shia Islamist paramilitary in Lebanon.

Reaction to New Supreme Leader.

The update comes amid US President Donald Trump’s disagreement with the naming of Iran’s latest supreme leader, Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei, after the killing of his father and predecessor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

When asked whether Israel could target the new leader, Defrin did not rule it out.

“Anyone who poses a threat will be struck,” Xinhua quoted Defrin as saying.

Translation: Its all a load of bullshit.

 

[SweetTea]

Many more Americans were killed by Iran before this war started.

He knows that, just doesn’t care.

 

[SweetTea]

Iran is not an existential threat to the US like the USSR or Nazi Germany were.

Not existential, but a nuke launched or set off in Chicago would be pretty devastating, don’t you think? I mean, I would love nothing more than to clean house in these big blue cities, but killing millions isn’t the answer.

Oh, I don't know, I'm pretty sure they weren't making bombs at that Girls' school Trump blew up.

Maybe not, but possibly at one of the other thousand things they have blown up.

Iran didn't use its missiles until Jews and USA attacked. Jews want Iran turned into Gaza for its Greater Israel project.

at least you're half way honest in your bias.
So you rely on

* Hamas-linked al-shit-zeera ?

Or this:

* Iranian media publishes false conspiracy theory claiming Netanyahu’s death or injury.

Iranian media pushes false Benjamin Netanyahu death conspiracy | The Jerusalem Post

The IRGC-linked outlet pointed to a gap in recent footage, a reported security buildup, and other fragments of public information, but offered no proof that the Israeli prime minister was killed.

Or on
* biased managed Wikipedia?

I do not trust any government. The US government and Isreal government are no less dishonest than that of Iran.

You would do well to quit trusting what you are told by your government

 

[Darkwind]

When anyone expressed doubt about the initial strikes, they were vilified by the administration and their allies.

Because that’s life in your authoritarian state.

The current war is far different than midnight hammer and this administration has proven it shouldn’t be trusted. They are keeping the public poorly informed and confused which is beneficial to their propaganda efforts.

... and of course, the Democrats never do that. Right?

 

[Norm Paperman]

I'm still waiting on line (in airport) because Dems. refuse to fund DHS...

Yeah, the Dems are as useless as the Republicans.

I hope you are flying somewhere outside the US so you can get away from the echo chamber that is the US media which is just the propaganda arm of the US government.

 

[Darkwind]

Not existential, but a nuke launched or set off in Chicago would be pretty devastating, don’t you think? I mean, I would love nothing more than to clean house in these big blue cities, but killing millions isn’t the answer.



Maybe not, but possibly at one of the other thousand things they have blown up.

Correct.

However, if a nuke were dropped on Chicago, the nation's homicide rate as a measure of average, would drastically lower.

I am NOT advocating for this to happen, just looking at the...and you'll pardon the use of the word... Fallout of such an action.

 

[Norm Paperman]

... and of course, the Democrats never do that. Right?

They both do that, the sooner you give up petty partisan politics the sooner you can free your mind from the US echo chamber

 

[Norm Paperman]

If so, then that line is crossed. No more wasting our resources on this endless Iran problem.

The US should have quit wasting our resources in the Middle East 50 years ago

 

[Eman623]

For each Iranian commander killed 10 are waiting to take their place.

The US is spending close to a billion dollars a day on this war. Every 20k drone we shoot down is costing the US hundreds of millions of dollars.

At this point of the war, the only winner so far has been Russia.

You mean the Russia that no longer gets Iranian drones for its war in Ukraine? That Russia?

 

[Darkwind]

They both do that, the sooner you give up petty partisan politics the sooner you can free your mind from the US echo chamber

I follow My ideology, not political parties or politics.

So, you failed again. At this time, the GOP is a closer alignment to My beliefs than the Marxists/Maoists in the Democrat party.

 

[Marener]

Correct.

However, if a nuke were dropped on Chicago, the nation's homicide rate as a measure of average, would drastically lower.

I am NOT advocating for this to happen, just looking at the...and you'll pardon the use of the word... Fallout of such an action.

And you think that we were in imminent danger of being nuked by Iran?

 

[Norm Paperman]

I follow My ideology, not political parties or politics.

So, your ideology is that of a warmonger war loving fool.

Got it!

 

[Marener]

So, your ideology is that of a warmonger war loving fool.

Got it!

Their ideology changes whenever it's convenient for it to change.

A year ago, posters such as these were saying that Dems were in favor of forever wars because they profited off of them.

But now they're all for forever wars and their political cadre is absolutely profiting off of them.

 

[Darkwind]

And you think that we were in imminent danger of being nuked by Iran?

Not now we aren't. But "imminent" has never been the standard for a real threat to the United States.

When your enemy walks into a negotiation and their first words are, "We have an inalienable right to enrich Uraniaum' and that we have the materials to make 11 nukes inside of two weeks, that qualifies as an existential threat to not only the United State to all our allies in that hemisphere of the world.

It takes two weeks to enrich 60% to weapons grade. They have missiles that can hit a lot of Europe and were working on an ICBM-style missile.

But let's not forget one other aspect. It doesn't have to be on a missle but in a suitcase and that can hit anywhere in the US and the world.

When your enemy states they are going to destroy you, sane people believe them.

Why don’t they, or any other country have the right to nukes?

 

[Darkwind]

Got it!

No, but then, your ideology seems to be to give retards a good name.

My ideology is personal responsibility, small government, and peace through overwhelming strength.

 

[Darkwind]

Why don’t they, or any other country have the right to nukes?

Are you five years old?
