The Israeli Air Force struck several Iranian military headquarters in Tehran during a wave of strikes yesterday, the military says.
The IDF says the targets included a headquarters of a security unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, “responsible for handling protests”; a maintenance center of the internal security forces; and a headquarters of Iran’s ballistic missile forces.
The military says it also struck several Iranian air defense systems during the wave of strikes, “to expand the Air Force’s aerial superiority over Iranian skies.”
