IDF says it hit key IRGC air force command center overnight

A key command center of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ air force was struck overnight, the IDF announces.

The command center was hit amid a wave of airstrikes carried out by the Israeli Air Force in Tehran.

According to the military, the command center served the IRGC air force’s air defense unit, “whose purpose is to create an aerial picture and defend Iran’s skies.”

“This is the most central air defense operations room of the IRGC air force,” the military says.

The IDF says it also struck Iranian air defense systems, headquarters, logistical warehouses, and other buildings near the command center.

In addition, as part of the wave of strikes, the IAF hit a ballistic missile production and launch site, which also included a weapons depot of the IRGC Quds Force, the military says.
