IDF: Underground missile factory, IRGC university bombed in overnight Iran strikes by over 80 jets

A wave of Israeli airstrikes in Tehran and central Iran overnight targeted several key Iranian military sites, including an underground ballistic missile factory and a military academy, the IDF says.

According to the military, more than 80 Israeli Air Force fighter jets dropped 230 bombs on the targets during the strikes.

Among the targets was a subterranean site “for the storage and production of ballistic missiles, from which hundreds of soldiers from the armed forces of the Iranian terror regime operated,” the IDF says.

The military says the site “contained bunkers and military headquarters of regime elements.”

Additionally, the IDF says it struck another missile storage site, which included bunkers and launch infrastructure, as well as Imam Hossein University, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military academy, which the IDF says “served as an emergency asset and an assembly complex for the IRGC,” including during the war.

As the war enters a new phase, the military says it is ramping up strikes on Iran’s weapon production facilities across the country, including those used to manufacture missiles and launchers.
