IAF Overnight Strike on Tehran: Arms Sites, Intel HQ, Khatam al-Anbiya Command

In the overnight hours of Day 22-23, Israeli Air Force fighter jets executed a comprehensive strike package against Tehran's military-industrial complex, confirming five target categories in a single operation. The targets represented Iran's command, production, and intelligence backbone: IRGC air force weapons production, the defence ministry's arms depot, an army training base housing anti-aircraft missile stocks, the Intelligence Ministry headquarters, and — most significantly — the headquarters of Khatam al-Anbiya, Iran's primary military emergency command coordinating all IRGC and army wartime operations. The IDF described this as a 'phase of deepening the damage to the core systems of the Iranian terror regime and its foundations.' Dozens of bombs were dropped across the target set. The overnight operation ran parallel to Iran's own continuous barrage campaign against Israeli cities — seven distinct attacks in under 14 hours on Day 23 alone.
