Israel strikes Iran leadership compound in central Tehran
The Israeli military said on Tuesday it struck Iran’s leadership compound in central Tehran overnight, targeting “the regime’s most central and significant headquarters.”
It added that the site had been used by Iran’s leadership, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and contained infrastructure involved in directing and financing regional armed groups.
The strike included the Presidential Office and the building of the Supreme National Security Council. It also targeted a site used by top officials for security decision-making, a training institution for military officers and other key infrastructure, the Israeli military said, adding that the compound spans several streets in central Tehran and is considered one of the most heavily secured sites in Iran.
The IDF said the strike followed prolonged intelligence collection and was aimed at degrading Iran’s command and control systems.
