The IDF completed a massive wave of large-scale strikes in Tehran overnight, destroying dozens of the regime’s critical aerial assets in a crucial blow to the Iranian Air Force and the IRGC Air Force at airports in Tehran, further advancing the military’s goal to degrade Iran’s military capabilities, the IDF said Monday. Across three airports in Tehran, the IDF obliterated such aerial assets as helicopters and other aircraft, along with various types of military infrastructure contained within the airports.

The three airports targeted included Bahram Airport, Mehrabad Airport and Azmayesh Airport. Mehrabad Airport in particular was noted in the IDF’s statement for its use by the IRGC’s elite Quds Force and for serving as the central hub for arming and financing Iran’s terrorist proxies across the region, as aircraft from Mehrabad funneled weapons and cash directly into their hands. The IDF said it has repeatedly targeted the airport during Operation Roaring Lion.

As part of its war aim to degrade Iran’s military capabilities and ensure the regime never again threatens Israel, the IDF vowed to continue its mission. “The IDF will continue to intensify its efforts to degrade the core capabilities and foundations of the Iranian regime,” the IDF said in its statement.
