Iran Strikes: Day 27

Thursday, March 26th, 2026

Not one but two Iranian naval commanders get dirtnapped, more than 10,000 Iranian targets have been hit, Iran getting 12 year olds to join the fight, and claims it’s reinforced Kharg Island.

  • The latest CENTCOM update from Admiral Brad Cooper:

    Highlights:

    • Over 10,000 Iranian targets hit. More counting Israeli strikes.
    • “We’ve destroyed 92% of the Iranian Navy’s largest vessels.”
    • “Iran’s drone and missile launch rates are down over 90%.”
    • “Today, we have damaged or destroyed over two-thirds of Iran’s missile, drone, and naval production facilities and shipyards, and we’re not done yet.”
    • “Now, in their eighth decade of flight, our B-52 bombers are executing strikes into Iran with up to 70,000 pounds of munitions on each mission.”
  • Also from Admiral Cooper: “Israel has eliminated the commander of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Navy, Admiral Alireza Tangsiri.” He was supposedly the guy overseeing blocking the Strait of Hormuz.
  • “Mosayeb Bakhtiari, a commander in the Iranian navy, was killed in airstrikes on Bandar Abbas.”
  • Israel also hit two “key naval cruise missile production sites in Tehran. IAF fighter jets targeted facilities used by the Iranian regime to develop and manufacture long-range naval cruise missiles capable of destroying targets at sea and on land.”
  • More on those Isfahan strikes mentioned in the last roundup.

    Israeli fighter jets, on Tuesday, struck Iran’s main weapons production site. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) described the fortified underground site in the central Iranian city of Isfahan as the regime’s “most central explosives production facility.”

    The “Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF intelligence, completed a wide-scale wave of strikes, targeting the Iranian regime’s military-industrial production facilities in Isfahan,” the Israeli military announced Tuesday evening. “The IDF confirms that it struck the most central production site for explosive materials in Iran, where the Iranian regime developed and produced explosive materials for various of weapons.”

    Israel had hit the facility extensively last year, but they were trying to rebuild it.

  • “Israel hit a naval facility in Iran’s Caspian Sea port of Bandar Anzali and has targeted a military supply route used by Moscow and Tehran to transfer weapons….The Israeli military said the strike hit dozens of targets, including warships, a command centre and a shipyard used to maintain vessels. Verified images showed damage to Iran’s naval headquarters and destroyed vessels.”
  • Trump promises a pause on attacking Iranian energy infrastructure through April 6.
  • Iran is winning so hard they have to recruit 12-year olds. “Iran has said that children as young as 12 can join the war, country’s state media quoted Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) official as saying that the minimum age for participation in war-related support roles has been lowered.” Much like they used 12 to 17 year olds to clear minefields in the Iran-Iraq war.
  • Iran claims it has reinforced Kharg Island.
  • Haaretz is claiming that Strikes on Basij headquarters have been almost entirely ceased. Targeting Basij forces has ceased.” Grains of salt are probably in order, given Haaretz’s noted left-wing slant.
  • “The United States has deployed ​uncrewed drone speedboats for patrols as part of its operations against Iran, the Pentagon said, ‌the first time Washington has confirmed using such vessels in an active conflict.”
  • The MSM may be against the war, but the Iranian people are for it. (Hat tip: Instapundit.)
  • Don Lemon finds out that an American of Persian descent is 100% behind the war:
