IDF strikes dozens of military facilities across Iran, including weapons research center

The Israeli military said on Friday it struck dozens of military and industrial targets in and around Tehran overnight, including the headquarters of SPND, Iran’s organization for nuclear weapons research and development.

Over 60 Israeli Air Force fighter jets carried out the strikes, guided by precise intelligence, and dropped around 120 munitions, the military said. The targets included missile manufacturing sites, facilities producing raw materials for missile engines, and key installations tied to Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

Among the sites targeted was the SPND building, established in 2011 by Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, regarded as the founder of Iran’s nuclear weapons project.

Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reported earlier that SPND was among the sites hit in the initial wave of Israeli strikes on June 15.
