The Israeli military says it destroyed the headquarters of Iran’s internal security forces amid a wave of airstrikes in Tehran earlier today.

Dozens of fighter jets struck dozens of Iranian regime headquarters, including the general staff of the Iranian internal security forces, the IDF says.

According to the IDF, the internal security forces headquarters “served as a command and control center responsible for linking the command echelon with the Iranian terror regime’s forces on the ground and led the brutal repression against the Iranian people.”

In addition, the IDF says it destroyed a complex serving the Thar-Allah Headquarters, an IRGC unit tasked with security for the Tehran area.
