The Israeli Air Force (IAF) said it carried out a wide-scale airstrike on Tehran, targeting what it described as command centres, parts of Iran’s ballistic missile infrastructure and other military facilities. The IAF said the operation, conducted on Tuesday and guided by Israeli Military Intelligence, struck command posts, sites tied to the ballistic missile array and additional infrastructure of the Iranian security apparatus. The military released aerial reconnaissance imagery of a large complex in Tehran showing warehouses and administrative buildings, with a section identified as the strike area.
According to the IAF, among the locations hit were the headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) security unit — which it said is responsible for handling protests and public-order matters — a maintenance centre of the Logistics and General Support Division of Iran’s internal security forces, and a headquarters linked to the ballistic missile array. The IAF also said several air-defence systems were attacked to expand its air superiority over Iranian airspace. Israeli officials framed the operation as a strategic effort to deepen damage to the core military capabilities of what they called the Iranian “terror regime.”
The IAF action followed a major IRGC offensive that, Iranian state outlets reported, struck more than 100 targets in Tel Aviv. Press TV and IRGC statements said that attack was retaliation for the killing of former Iranian security official Ali Larijani and was part of the 61st wave of a retaliatory campaign dubbed “Operation True Promise 4.” Those reports named missile types used, including multi-warhead Khorramshahr-4 and Qadr missiles and projectiles such as Emad and Kheibar Shekan, and said more than 100 military and security targets were struck.
Iranian accounts asserted the strikes degraded Israeli multilayered air-defence systems and described a partial blackout in Tel Aviv that hampered control and rescue operations. The IRGC claimed more than 230 casualties, dead or injured. Iranian reporting also said the campaign affected locations across the occupied territories — including al-Quds, Haifa, Be’er Sheva and the Negev — and that impacts were reported at U.S. outposts in parts of the region, including Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
