Israel strikes the Iranian leadership complex, the regime’s most central and strategic headquarters

Israel targeted the “Iranian leadership complex,” considered the most important and most central headquarters of the regime, which houses several key institutions, including the presidency.

On Monday night, the Israeli Air Force, acting on precise intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Directorate, carried out an attack against governmental and security buildings within the regime’s leadership complex in the heart of Tehran.

It stated that during the strike, dozens of various types of munitions were dropped on the presidential office, the building of the Supreme National Security Council, the complex hosting the regime’s highest decision-making forum responsible for security matters, the Iranian army officers’ training institute, and additional vital infrastructure.

According to the statement, the complex is among the most heavily secured sites in Iran, extending across several streets in central Tehran. The regime’s leadership and security officials reportedly met there frequently and from there conducted, among other activities, assessments related to Iran’s nuclear program and the advancement of plans aimed at destroying Israel.

It was further noted that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, whose death has been announced, used the complex, where infrastructure was also stored to manage attacks against the State of Israel and to direct and finance the regime’s proxies and affiliated groups.

The attack on the complex was carried out following an extended intelligence-gathering and analytical operation conducted by the Military Intelligence Directorate, the statement said.

It emphasized that this site represents the most important and central headquarters of the Iranian regime, and that targeting it expands and deepens the blow inflicted on the continuity of the regime’s command and control systems.

Meanwhile, after a pause of approximately ten hours, Iran resumed launching missiles toward Israel.

The Israeli military warned residents via mobile phones of the imminent arrival of missiles from Iran.

Minutes later, air raid sirens sounded in central Israel, particularly in the Tel Aviv area and its surroundings.

Loud explosions were heard as a result of attempts to intercept the missiles.

The newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that missile shrapnel struck a building in the city of Petah Tikva.

Magen David Adom did not report any casualties.

Earlier, Magen David Adom teams had announced that four Israelis sustained minor injuries after a missile struck a building in the town of Kiryat Yuval in the Galilee region.

Israeli Channel 13 reported that the missile had been launched from Lebanon.

Sirens had previously sounded in several Israeli towns in the Galilee area.
