The IDF completed a round of strikes across Tehran on Tuesday, including against several command centers used by the regime's security forces, the military announced on Wednesday.

Among the sites targeted were the IRGC Security Unit's headquarters, a General Logistics and Support Department of Internal Security Forces maintenance center, and a ballistic missile array command center.

Several air defense systems were also destroyed, the IDF said, explaining that "the completed strikes are part of a phase aimed at further deepening the damage to the core systems and foundations of the Iranian terror regime."

Ali Larijani, Basij head Soleimani, killed by IDF

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council secretary Ali Larijani was killed in a targeted Israeli airstrike in Iran overnight on Tuesday, the IDF and Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed.

The IDF also confirmed it had assassinated Gholamreza Soleimani, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Basij paramilitary militia, and his deputy, Seyyed Karishi.

The two were killed in a makeshift tent area, which had been set up to make it harder to follow them than if they had been based in their headquarters.
