The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Monday (23) that they bombed an Iranian Revolutionary Guard command center in Tehran, during a new wave of attacks against the Iranian regime’s military structures. According to a statement released by the Israeli military, the command center was used to coordinate internal operations and intelligence activities.
According to the IDF, the location functioned as a command headquarters responsible for synchronizing units responsible for maintaining the security of the Iranian regime, including the Basij paramilitary force, responsible for internal repression. The Israeli Army stated that the installation was located within an area with civilian infrastructure and that measures were adopted to reduce the risk of casualties among the population, with the use of precision munitions and aerial monitoring.
In addition to the command center in Tehran, Israeli forces also struck air defense headquarters of the Revolutionary Guard, ground forces facilities, several other intelligence centers and factories linked to the production of weapons and missiles in Iran.
According to the IDF, structures associated with the Quds Force, a unit of the Revolutionary Guard responsible for the regime’s external operations, were also bombed, as well as research and production facilities related to military electronics, ballistic missiles, warheads and defense systems.
The Israeli military said in a statement that the attacks were part of the current phase of the campaign aimed at weakening the Iranian regime’s military and security capabilities.
The new wave of bombings occurred hours after US President Donald Trump announced that he had ordered the temporary postponement of attacks on Iranian energy plants and infrastructure, following what he called “productive” talks with Tehran on a possible resolution of the conflict. Even after the American announcement, the IDF reported that it will continue operations against the Iranian regime in accordance with Israeli government guidelines.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday that he spoke with President Trump about negotiations with Iran and that he was convinced that the American government would guarantee an agreement that “will safeguard vital interests” of Israel in the ongoing conflict.
