These bombs were dropped as part of 1,000 waves of IAF aircraft, with CENTCOM saying that the US had struck over 13,000 targets during the war.
The IDF on Thursday revealed its final statistics to date from the Iran war, which included dropping 18,000 bombs.
That number over 38 days represents around five times the number of bombs that the IDF dropped on Iran over 12 days during the June 2025 war.
These bombs were dropped as part of 1,000 waves of aircraft, with those aircraft flying 8,5000 separate sorties.
During those sorties, there were around 10,800 attacks targeting around 4,000 different targets, collectively comprising around 6,700 different components.
For example, one target might be an entire base with several different buildings or threat items to strike.
The pace of the bombing, as massive as it was, had mostly declined steadily since mid-March.
In the early days of the war, both Israel and the US were dropping around 1,000 bombs or striking around 1,000 targets daily.
CENTCOM: US struck 13,000 Iranian targets
On April 6, CENTCOM said that the US had struck over 13,000 targets within Iran.
However, the size of Israeli and American targets is not entirely comparable.
At different times, both Israel and American officials have claimed that they bombed more targets than the other party, while always making sure to lavish praise on the counterpart air force.
For most of the war, the parties also divided up the country by region, with Israel mostly attacking in western, northern, and central Iran, including Tehran, and the US focused more on southern Iran as well as the various waterways.
