IDF launches wide-scale fresh wave of airstrikes on Tehran regime infrastructure

The IDF disclosed on March 24 that during waves of airstrikes in Tehran on Day 24 (March 23), the Israeli Air Force struck: two IRGC intelligence headquarters, a headquarters of Iran's Intelligence Ministry, weapon storage sites, and air defense systems in the capital. The strikes targeted the command and intelligence infrastructure of both the IRGC and civilian intelligence apparatus — a significant targeting set that goes beyond kinetic military assets to Iran's intelligence architecture. The IDF also struck air defense systems, consistent with SEAD (suppression of enemy air defenses) operations to maintain IAF freedom of action over Iranian airspace. Additional overnight strikes on Day 24-25 covered 50+ targets across northern and central Iran, including ballistic missile storage and launch sites (detailed in the Day 25 overnight strike event). The IDF stated it struck all targets 'in waves' as part of coordinated air campaigns against regime and military infrastructure.
