Israel says it struck 'IRGC’s main military university' in Tehran
The Israeli military said on Monday it had struck military infrastructure at Imam Hossein University in Tehran, describing it as a key facility linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
It said the university was commanded by Mohammad Reza Hassani Ahangar, a senior IRGC officer, and that the institution and some of its officials had been sanctioned by several countries.
The military said the site served as a central academic and research hub and was used for weapons development under what it described as civilian cover.
It said targets included wind tunnels used for ballistic missile testing, a chemistry center it said was linked to chemical weapons research, and engineering facilities tied to weapons development.
Israel said the strikes aimed to damage Iran’s weapons production and development capabilities.
