Air Force Targets Nuclear Facilities and Missile Industries in Tehran

Separately, more than 50 Israeli fighter jets launched a series of overnight strikes on Tehran, specifically aiming at nuclear weapons programme sites and missile component factories.

The IDF noted that:

  • Around 120 munitions were used in the attack.
  • The Organisation of Defensive Innovation and Research (SPND) headquarters, a critical element of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, was also hit.

SPND Headquarters Damaged in Air Raid

The SPND, established in 2011 by Fakhri Zadeh, plays a major role in research and development of advanced weapons systems.
The IDF stated:
“The SPND headquarters is a core component of the Iranian regime’s military capabilities.”

IDF Prevents Missile Launches Targeting Israel

In another statement, the IDF reported that it had neutralized three missile launchers in Iran that were reportedly ready to strike Israeli territory. A military commander involved in the launch preparation was also targeted.

Background: ‘Operation Rising Lion’ and Ongoing Escalation

The latest flare-up began last Friday when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched ‘Operation Rising Lion’, a targeted military campaign aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear threat.

Iran responded swiftly with missile and drone attacks, escalating tensions and pushing the Middle East closer to a broader regional war.
