Israel says it destroyed Iran's 'internal security headquarters'

IRAN, JUN 18 – Israeli airstrikes destroyed Iran's internal security headquarters and key military sites to weaken regime control, with at least 40 targets hit in Tehran and western Iran, officials said.

  • On June 18, Israel’s Defense Minister Katz confirmed that the Israeli Air Force carried out an operation that destroyed the Iranian regime’s internal security headquarters located in Tehran.
  • This attack followed a series of Israeli airstrikes conducted in three waves aiming to degrade Iranian military and security infrastructure amid escalating tensions.
  • Israel also hacked Iran's state television broadcast, urging citizens to rise up against the regime while Iran imposed an internet shutdown citing security concerns.
  • Katz likened the bombing to a tornado sweeping through Tehran and noted that the disturbance to key institutions might weaken the regime’s capacity to uphold domestic order and control.
  • The strikes intensify the conflict, prompting Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei to reject calls for surrender and vow proportional retaliation, while Trump demands Iran's unconditional surrender.
