JERUSALEM — The Israeli Air Force conducted a series of airstrikes targeting dozens of headquarters and bases linked to Iran’s internal security apparatus in Tehran, the Israel Defense Forces said.

The strikes hit facilities subordinate to what the IDF described as the “Iranian terror regime,” including those responsible for suppressing protests through violence and civilian arrests.

“As part of the sortie, the IDF struck headquarters and bases of internal security bodies … responsible for suppressing protests against the regime, including through the use of violence and the arrest of civilians,” the military said in a statement. “Striking these bases deepens the blow to the regime’s repression capabilities.”

The IDF reported striking more than 10 headquarters belonging to Iran’s Intelligence Ministry, as well as a command center operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, where Iranian soldiers were reportedly gathered.

Additional targets included Iranian ballistic missile launchers, a weapons production site and other IRGC facilities, the military added.

The operation is part of an ongoing escalation in the conflict between Israel, the United States and Iran, which has seen coordinated airstrikes on Iranian military, leadership and nuclear-related sites since late February. The strikes come amid broader U.S.-Israeli efforts to degrade Iran’s missile capabilities, air defenses and command structure.

Iran has responded with missile and drone attacks on Israel and regional targets, while Iranian officials have reported significant casualties and damage in Tehran and other areas.

No immediate independent confirmation of the specific targets or damage was available from Iranian sources, which have accused Israel of attacking civilian infrastructure in some cases.

The IDF emphasized that the strikes were intelligence-guided and aimed at weakening the regime’s ability to repress its population and project power regionally. The military has released footage purporting to show precision hits on command centers in the Iranian capital.
