The IDF announced: "In the heart of Tehran: IDF attacked a central IRGC headquarters established within civilian infrastructure. As part of a wave of attacks completed a short while ago in the heart of Tehran, the Air Force, guided by Military Intelligence, attacked the central security headquarters of the IRGC, located within civilian infrastructure. The headquarters was used by the IRGC to synchronize the district units responsible for enforcing regime order and internal security. Additionally, the Iranian terror regime commanded the Basij unit battalions from the attacked headquarters. Basij forces are part of the armed forces of the Iranian terror regime and have been responsible for carrying out terror plots for years. Alongside this, the forces lead the central repressive actions against internal protests in Iran, especially recently, using severe violence, widespread arrests, and the use of force against demonstrators. Before the attack, many steps were taken to minimize harm to civilians, including the use of precision ordnance, aerial observations, and additional intelligence information. The attack on the headquarters is part of deepening the damage to the regime's core systems and security capabilities."
