š¹ The Israeli Air Force carried out a series of overnight precision strikes in and around Tehran, targeting core regime infrastructure and military facilities.
š¹ Key targets struck included:
⢠Access routes to the Fordow nuclear facility, following a U.S. B-2 bomber strike on the same location a day earlier.
⢠The entrance gate of Evin Prison, intentionally targeted without damaging prisoner buildings, according to reports from opposition outlet Iran International.
⢠IRIB State Broadcasting Authority headquarters, with reports of major transmission damage and blackouts across northern Tehran.
⢠IRGC bases, including the Basij headquarters, tasked with internal repression.
⢠Alborz Corps, responsible for Tehran Province security and regime protection.
⢠Iranās Intelligence and General Security Police facilities, reportedly hit in coordination with broader attacks.
⢠The āDestruction of Israelā countdown clock in Palestine Square, symbolically erased.
š¹ According to Israeli military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effi Defrin, these strikes are part of a deepening IDF campaign focused on degrading IRGC command structures and regime enforcers.
š¹ Security sources estimate dozens killed in strikes on IRGC bases, marking one of the most aggressive Israeli air operations inside the Iranian capital to date.
š¹ Evin Prison, long a symbol of political repression since its establishment in the 1970s under the Shahās regime, has housed political prisoners, intellectuals, and activists. Over the years, it has been associated with reports of torture, prolonged isolation, and executions, including a 2008 mass execution of 29 prisoners in a single day, sparking global outrage.
š¹ This wave of strikes signals a dramatic escalation in the regional conflict, with direct hits on both strategic military sites and powerful regime symbols at the heart of the Iranian capital.
