IDF Strikes the Heart of Tehran
Parliament, presidency, judiciary and state broadcaster hit in single wave
On the night of March 2, the IDF launched what it called a 'broad wave' against the heart of Tehran — striking the presidential administration building, parliament, the supreme court, and the IRIB state broadcaster headquarters in Evin. Explosions lit up central Tehran. The IRIB building was 'dismantled.' This marked the first deliberate targeting of Iran's civilian government infrastructure, crossing a threshold the operation had avoided in the first two days. PM Netanyahu: 'We are systematically dismantling the organs of the Islamic Republic.'
