IDF strikes Tehran command centers

Earlier on Saturday, the IAF completed a wide-scale wave of strikes in Iran, targeting regime infrastructure in Tehran, the IDF announced on Sunday, destroying several temporary command centers and eliminating their commanders.

The statement noted that the IDF had identified the relocation of Iranian command centers to mobile units in recent days, after most of its permanent command centers were struck by the IDF over the past month.

The strikes, which were based on military intelligence, additionally targeted dozens of ballistic missile production and storage facilities, said the IDF, as well as Iranian aerial defense systems and observation posts.

Israel strikes Iranian nuclear development facilities

The IDF confirmed on Friday an attack against Iran’s Khandab heavy water reactor in Arak, as well as a uranium enrichment facility in Ardakan.

The attack, which involved over 50 IAF fighter jets guided by IDF intelligence, completed strikes targeting the Iranian terror regime’s infrastructure across three areas simultaneously, the IDF said.

According to Iranian state media, the enrichment facility in Ardakan produced yellowcake, a concentrated uranium powder used in the early stages of nuclear fuel production.

Additionally, a missile struck the Bushehr nuclear plant in Iran on Friday, according to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, with no casualties, material damage, or technical disruptions being reported.
