Israel Says It Hit Iran’s Leadership Compound in Tehran in Overnight Airstrike

The IDF says the raid was designed to cripple command-and-control at sites it identified through prolonged intelligence gathering.

Overview

  • Israel’s military said its air force struck Iran’s central leadership complex in Tehran overnight, targeting what it describes as the regime’s key headquarters.
  • The IDF reported hitting Iran’s presidential bureau and the Supreme National Security Council building, along with related security and training facilities.
  • Roughly 100 fighter jets dropped more than 250 bombs on the heavily secured multi-block compound, according to the Israeli account.
  • Israeli officials framed the operation as an intelligence-led effort intended to degrade decision-making and operational coordination by Iran’s leadership.
  • Iranian authorities did not issue immediate confirmation of casualties or damage, and the strike was reported in the context of a wider U.S.-Israeli campaign facing Iranian retaliation.
