On Monday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claimed that over 50 fighter jets conducted airstrikes on pivotal command centers and assets belonging to Iran's Ministry of Interior and the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Tehran, based on precise intelligence. The IDF stated that this latest wave of air assaults aims to weaken Tehran-based military capabilities by specifically targeting military headquarters, missile production facilities, radar sites, and storage.
The IDF affirmed the attack on several Iranian military strongholds, notably the 'Tharallah' headquarters, a core Revolutionary Guards' base intended to defend Tehran against internal and external security threats. Furthermore, Israeli fighter jets bombarded the 'Sayyed al-Shuhada' Brigade, a critical component of the Revolutionary Guards charged with Iran's internal security.
IDF announced an escalation in efforts against Iran's military capacity, pledging continued operations to secure Israeli safety. Among the targets was the 'Basij Headquarters,' one of IRGC's central armed sites known for enforcing Islamic laws and reporting violators. Damage was also inflicted on the Alborz Corps, responsible for safeguarding Tehran's environs and ensuring regime stability.
Israeli jets additionally focused on intelligence and general security police under Iran's internal security, impacting the regime's military effectiveness and control. IDF detailed attacks on six airports across western, central, and eastern Iran, causing severe damage to runways, underground hangars, refueling aircraft, and various fighter jets such as the F-14, F-5, and AH-1.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Sunday that Israel intends to intensify its military actions against Iran. He remarked, 'Israel will fiercely continue operations in both Iran and Gaza,' and added, 'We will not pause this historical campaign until we achieve our objectives.' Reports noted that post-U.S. assaults on Iranian nuclear sites, Iran's parliament voted to endorse closure of the Hormuz Strait, a top global oil transit point. However, the final decision on closing the strait rests with Iran's National Security Council.
