Report: Israel Unleashes Precision Strikes on Iran’s Military Strongholds

Share

Israel launched a significant airstrike targeting military installations in Iran. This operation, was reported to involve several dozen aircraft, focused on crippling Iran’s missile manufacturing and military infrastructure. Key targets included the Sepah Air Force Logistics Center, Falaq Barracks, Imam Ali Barracks, and Hasan Khan Castle, as well as a suspected missile launch base. In response to the attack, air defenses were activated near the residence of Supreme Leader Khamenei in central Tehran.

The Israeli strike also extended beyond Iran, with explosions reported in Basra and Mosul, Iraq, indicating a broader regional engagement. Iranian airspace was officially closed following the attack, and the Iranian President convened an emergency meeting with top military leaders from the Revolutionary Guards and the army. The Revolutionary Guards’ headquarters in Tehran was also reported to have come under attack, alongside several military bases in the west and southwest of the capital.

The Israeli government emphasized that the operation avoided energy infrastructure and nuclear sites to prevent further escalation. This strategic restraint aligns with advice from U.S. officials, who, while not directly involved, were kept informed. The White House has been closely monitoring the situation, with President Biden receiving briefings amid heightened regional tensions. Iran and Russian media downplayed the strike’s impact, but footage showed intense anti-aircraft fire lighting up the skies over central Tehran.

Explosions were also reported in Shiraz and near Damascus. Iran’s military leadership remains on high alert, and retaliatory threats are likely as both nations brace for potential fallout from the most direct confrontation in years.
