The Israeli Air Force bombed airports in Tehran overnight, saying they were being used by the Quds Force, the extraterritorial arm of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The military says the IAF struck three airports in the Tehran area, hitting runways and control towers, along with a Quds Force factory that manufactured drones.
