The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that it used more than 80 fighter jets to carry out a wide-ranging wave of strikes on Iran in the early hours of Saturday. The strikes targeted military infrastructure, including the Imam Hossein military university used to train officers for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The IDF added that the university contained numerous military assets. Other targets included an IRGC assembly complex, underground infrastructure for storing ballistic missiles, military bunkers, and command centers where senior Iranian officials operated.
Launch sites in western and central Iran were also hit. Footage from Tehran showed black smoke and the sound of explosions in the pre-dawn darkness, as well as flames seen at the city's Mehrabad airport.
