Israel Says It Launched Strikes on Tehran Command Hub
According to an official military statement, warplanes carried out strikes late Monday on what the army described as "government and security buildings inside the Iranian regime's command compound" — situated at the center of the Iranian capital.
The military identified a sweeping list of targets within the compound, including the Presidential Palace, the Supreme National Security Council building, a forum complex responsible for key national security decisions, the Iranian Military Officers' Training Institute, and additional critical infrastructure installations.
At a news conference, Israeli army spokesperson Evy Devrin confirmed that approximately 100 fighter jets took part in the operation, deploying in excess of 250 types of munitions during the assault.
Devrin described the targeted compound as one of the "most secure sites" in Iran — a sprawling complex stretching across multiple city blocks in central Tehran — which the military alleged had routinely served as a venue for high-level leadership and security deliberations, including those pertaining to Iran's nuclear program.
The Israeli army characterized the operation as the product of "an extended process of intelligence gathering and reconnaissance," asserting the strike was aimed at "expanding and deepening the damage inflicted on the regime's command and control system."
Tehran had not issued any immediate response to the Israeli claims as of the time of publication.
The latest strikes come in the wake of a large-scale U.S.-Israeli assault launched Saturday that killed several of Iran's most senior figures, among them Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Since then, Tehran has launched retaliatory drone and missile attacks directed at Israel and at Gulf states that host U.S. military assets — a pattern of exchanges that has sent tensions across the broader Middle East to a precarious new high.
