The IDF confirmed Friday morning that more than 60 fighter jets carried out overnight strikes on dozens of military targets across Iran, guided by precise intelligence from the Intelligence Directorate and deploying approximately 120 munitions.
Among the targets were several missile manufacturing facilities in the Tehran area—key sites developed over years that serve as a strategic hub for Iran’s Ministry of Defense. These included industrial complexes used to produce missile components, as well as facilities for manufacturing raw materials essential to casting missile engines.
The IDF spokesman also announced that the Israeli Air Force struck three missile launchers in Iran that were prepared for imminent launch toward Israeli territory. In addition, the operation targeted and eliminated the military commander responsible for orchestrating the planned attacks.
As part of its broader effort to undermine Iran’s nuclear weapons program, the IDF also struck the headquarters of the Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research (SPND) in Tehran. In addition, a facility involved in producing a key component essential to the regime’s nuclear weapons development was targeted.
The SPND headquarters serves as a central hub for research and development of advanced technologies and weaponry for Iran’s military. It was established in 2011 by Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the architect of Iran’s nuclear weapons program.
Mossad sent Fakhrizadeh to meet Allah on November 27, 2020. Fakhrizadeh’s security team had warned him not to travel on that day, citing elevated security risks. However, he declined their advice. According to one of his sons, “He refused because he had an important meeting and was scheduled to lecture students. He insisted on returning to Tehran that same day.”
Like I said, you don’t keep Allah waiting.
According to opposition journalists in Iran, powerful explosions echoed through the night in the area, with reports identifying the targeted facility as “one of the strategic centers of the Islamic Republic in the city.” They further claimed that the site had long been suspected of hosting covert military activity under the supervision of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
