Israel Hammers Tehran, Destroys Iranian Arsenals

From the linked article:

The Israeli Air Force struck a centrifuge production site in Tehran overnight Tuesday [June 17, 2025] used by the Iranian regime to expand and accelerate its uranium enrichment.

More than 50 fighter jets had carried out a series of strikes against targets in the Iranian capital region.

The IAF also struck several weapons manufacturing sites overnight, including a site dedicated to manufacturing raw materials and components for surface-to-surface missiles, which Iran continues to launch at Israel.

Israeli fighter jets began a new round of attacks on regime targets during the morning hours of Wednesday, including striking five Iranian AH-1 attack helicopters positioned at a military base in the Kermanshah area.

The IDF stated that the helicopters were intended to target IAF aircraft operating in Iranian airspace, and the military published footage of the strike on the helicopters.

Approximately 25 fighter jets participated in the morning operations, hitting over 40 missile infrastructure components in western Iran, including missile storage sites and military operatives from the Iranian regime.

The IDF also released footage of an overnight strike on a ready-to-launch “Emad” missile launcher moments before it was set to fire at Israeli civilians.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Wednesday described the intensive IAF strikes on regime targets in Tehran as a tornado sweeping over the Iranian capital.

“Symbols of authority are being bombed and collapsing—from the broadcasting authority and soon other targets as well, while crowds of residents are fleeing,” Katz wrote on X. “This is how dictatorships collapse.”

“We have delivered significant blows to the Iranian regime, and as such, they have been pushed back into central Iran,” IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin announced in a Tuesday night press briefing.

Defrin emphasized that while the IDF aims at military targets, the Iranian regime attacks residential homes.

“We’ve struck deep, hitting Iran’s nuclear, ballistic and command capabilities,” he said. “The Iranian regime has spent years getting closer to a nuclear weapon, they have spent billions building a ballistic missile program. Our mission is clear—to remove the threat at its source.”

He also highlighted the previous night’s targeted killing of Maj. Gen. Ali Shadmani, who commanded both the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian army. Shadmani’s predecessor was killed just days ago during the opening strike of Israel’s war against Iran.

“Shadmani held the role for only four days before meeting the same fate as his predecessor,” said Defrin.

The Israeli Air Force carried out a series of strikes in central Tehran overnight Thursday [June 19, 2025], targeting critical military infrastructure, including missile production sites and a facility linked to Iran’s nuclear weapons research and development efforts.

More than 60 IAF fighter jets, guided by intelligence from the IDF Intelligence Directorate, attacked dozens of sites across the Iranian capital, deploying approximately 120 precision-guided munitions.

As part of its campaign to disrupt Iran’s nuclear weapons program, the IDF targeted the Tehran headquarters of the SPND (Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research). The facility is used to develop advanced technologies and weapons that enhance the Iranian regime’s military capabilities.

On Friday, the military announced that IAF fighter jets had targeted Iranian missile systems and radar installations in Isfahan and Tehran, which were aimed at Israeli aircraft and designed to disrupt their operations.

The IDF stated that these strikes enhance the IAF’s ability to operate freely in Iranian airspace, enabling it to strike additional military targets in western and central Iran.

The IAF also carried out a series of strikes against key military objectives tied to the Iranian regime in the Kermanshah and Tabriz regions. During the operation, more than 25 fighter jets hit over 35 missile storage and launch sites.
