The IDF details targets hit during recent waves of airstrikes in Tehran, saying they included the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps space and satellite headquarters.
The IRGC space and satellite headquarters “served as a reception, transmission, and research center for the Iranian Space Agency, which is affiliated with the regime’s military,” the IDF says.
The headquarters included “research facilities as well as a command-and-control structure for the Khayyam satellite,” launched by Iran in August 2022, which the IDF says was used by the IRGC to “advance terror activities and monitor the State of Israel and countries in the region.”
Additionally, as part of the waves of strikes, the IDF says it also hit 50 bunkers at one of Iran’s internal security forces bases that were used to store ammunition; a base of the Basij paramilitary force; headquarters of the internal security forces; and a compound belonging to the IRGC ground forces.
