Tehran's Heart of Repression Crumbles as Israeli Strikes Persist
Iranian Capital: Headquarters of Internal Security in Tehran Demolished by Israel
Israel's relentless Campaign in Iran intensifies as the TEHRAN Internal Security Headquarters, also known as the Police Command, allegedly takes a major hit. According to Israeli officials, this critical repression organ of Iranian dictator Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been obliterated.
Israeli fighter jets, as per the declarations of defense minister, Israel Katz, have carried out precision strikes on the Police Command in Iran. This assault is aimed at the core of Iran's internal repression machinery - a move aimed to cripple the iron grip of the Iranian regime. Prior to this, Israeli military had reported attacks on "military targets" in Tehran.
Social media users reported an air strike on the headquarters of the security forces, which oversees all Iranian police units. Reporters from Agence France-Presse (AFP) heard multiple explosions in the east and southeast of the Iranian capital, with dark plumes of smoke billowing into the sky. A major thoroughfare across Tehran was temporarily closed.
Is Israel Achieving Air Superiority?
On the sixth day of this protracted conflict, Israel has conducted intense attacks on targets in the capital, causing sleepless nights for many residents. Unlike Israel, Tehran lacks warning systems for air attacks and civil defense shelters, leaving the city vulnerable to Israeli airstrikes.
The Israel-Iran confrontation escalated dramatically on Friday, as Israel launched an unprecedented large-scale attack on Iranian nuclear facilities and military installations. The attacks claimed several high-ranking military commanders and nuclear scientists, sparking retaliatory rocket and drone attacks from Iran on Israel. Israel justifies the attack due to Iran's advanced nuclear program.
The Deep-Seated Battle for Nuclear Supremacy
Rumors of potential US military intervention have been swirling for days, with a White House crisis meeting and an escalation in tone towards Tehran fueling such speculation. President Trump has demanded Iran's "unconditional surrender," but Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has publicly rejected the surrender call.
The death toll from this conflict continues to rise, with Israel reporting 24 deaths from Iran's retaliatory attacks, and Iranian reports of at least 224 fatalities. It seems the stalemate persists, with both nations dug in and unyielding in their respective positions.

This policy may involve discussions on the ongoing Iran Conflict and Israel Conflict, as well as addressing Middle East Tensions and Israel-Iran Relations.
