Regime Decapitation: Day 2
IDF dismantles IRGC command infrastructure across Tehran
On March 1, the IDF launched a new large-scale wave of strikes against "dozens of command centers" across Tehran — the most intensive urban precision strike campaign in modern warfare. Targets included IRGC headquarters, intelligence HQ, IRGC Air Force command, and internal security headquarters. Explosions rocked Shahrak-e Gharb (upscale residential district) and areas near the Intelligence Ministry. A hospital on Gandhi Street was badly damaged. F-4 and F-5 fighter jets were struck on a runway as they prepared for takeoff. PM Netanyahu confirmed killing "several leaders of the Iranian nuclear programme." Trump separately revealed the US had killed 48 Iranian leaders and sunk 9 warships.
