TEHRAN, Iran — The United States and Israel have launched a new wave of coordinated airstrikes targeting key Iranian security headquarters, marking another escalation in the widening regional conflict.
According to regional reports, the strikes focused on major command facilities used by Iran’s security forces and military leadership. Several buildings within the targeted complexes were reportedly damaged or destroyed after precision-guided munitions struck the sites during overnight operations.
Iranian officials said the attacks hit installations linked to the country’s internal security network and military command structure. Some of the targeted facilities were believed to be associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and other security agencies responsible for coordinating defense operations across the country.
Witnesses in several cities reported hearing loud explosions and seeing large plumes of smoke rising from government and security compounds shortly after the strikes began. Emergency crews and security forces were dispatched to the affected areas as authorities began assessing the damage and searching for possible casualties.
Military analysts say the latest operation appears aimed at weakening Iran’s command-and-control capabilities by striking headquarters used to coordinate missile launches, drone operations, and regional military activities.
The strikes are part of a broader campaign by the United States and Israel to degrade Iran’s military infrastructure following escalating hostilities across the Middle East. Previous operations have targeted missile bases, air-defense systems, and strategic facilities across multiple provinces in Iran.
Tehran strongly condemned the attacks, calling them violations of its sovereignty and warning that further strikes would provoke additional retaliation. In recent days, Iran has launched missile and drone attacks targeting Israeli territory and U.S. military installations across the region.
As the cycle of attacks continues, international observers warn that the conflict risks expanding further, potentially drawing additional countries into a broader confrontation that could destabilize the region.
