Devastating Israeli Strikes on Iran: Internal Security Headquarters Wiped Out
Tehran headquarters of Iran's Internal Security Agency demolished by Israel
Get ready for a rollercoaster ride, 'cause things are heating up in the Middle East! According to our sources, Israeli fighter jets have taken out a significant target - the headquarters of Iran's Internal Security Force, also known as the police command. Israeli Defense Minister Benny Katz confirmed the news, stating that the strike aimed at the "most important repression tool" of Iranian dictator Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
This bombing follows a series of intense attacks on Tehran, as Israel seeks to take down critical regime security organs. The Internal Security Force plays a crucial role in enforcing physical security, as well as "moral and social" security, to maintain the regime's grip.
Social media users also reported an air strike on the headquarters, causing numerous explosions in eastern and southeast Tehran, with black smoke filling the sky. A major thoroughfare was partially closed as a result of the bombing.
Days have passed since the conflict between Israel and Iran began, with Israel launching an unprecedented large-scale attack on Iran on Friday. Israel's attacks targeted not only military sites but also nuclear facilities and high-ranking military commanders and nuclear scientists. Iran retaliated with rocket and drone attacks on Israel, but Israel justifies its actions by citing Iran's advanced nuclear program.
Speculation about a possible U.S. military intervention has been rife, with tensions escalating between the U.S. and Iran. U.S. President Donald Trump has fueled the speculation by demanding Iran's "unconditional surrender" and hinting at a potential U.S. military intervention. However, Iran's spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has categorically rejected the surrender call.
It seems Israel may have achieved air superiority, as its strikes continue to target key Iranian military and security sites with minimal response from Iranian air defenses. Thousands have fled Tehran, indicating significant domestic upheaval. Reports suggest at least 224 people have been killed as a result of the attacks, with Israel reporting 24 deaths from Iranian retaliatory attacks.
