Israel Unleashes Unprecedented Strikes on Iranian Military Infrastructure

International News: In a stunning display of aerial dominance, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have conducted what is being termed as one of their largest and most coordinated operations against Iran to date. The offensive, carried out on Monday, targeted a wide array of sensitive and high-value Iranian military assets. According to IDF sources, air raids struck deep into Iran’s west, central, and eastern regions, demolishing military bases, missile depots, airfields, and even nuclear-linked locations.

This marks a significant escalation in the ongoing hostility between the two regional powers, pushing the conflict dangerously close to full-scale war. Israel stated that the primary objective behind the assault was to neutralize Iran’s offensive capabilities and preserve Israel’s air superiority.

Targets Across the Map

Command Centers and IRGC Bases Crippled
Among the hardest-hit sites were several linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including command centers and surveillance units. Notably, the headquarters of the Basij militia—tasked with enforcing Islamic law and suppressing dissent—was also destroyed. The Alborz Corps, overseeing security in the Tehran region, and the Tharallah Command Center—responsible for the capital’s defense—were likewise struck with precision airstrikes.

The IDF announced that even the powerful Sayyid al-Shuhada Corps, deeply involved in internal suppression and crowd control, was specifically targeted. This suggests a focused effort by Israel to dismantle Iran's domestic military apparatus, not just its regional threats.

IRGC Under Fire

Airports, Intelligence Hubs, and Fighter Jets Hit
The strikes weren’t limited to ground command centers. Iran’s internal security arm, the General Intelligence Directorate, suffered damage to its media control and personnel management wings. Meanwhile, several key airbases across the nation were attacked, with runways, fuel tankers, and underground hangars reduced to rubble.

Of particular note is the reported destruction of multiple combat aircraft, including U.S.-origin F-14s and F-5s, as well as AH-1 Cobra helicopters. Israel claims this severely hampers Iran’s ability to retaliate or deploy airpower effectively in the near term.

Sky Power Neutralized

Nuclear Access Routes Bombed, Raising Global Alarm
Perhaps most alarming was Israel’s move to block access routes to Iran’s heavily fortified Fordow nuclear enrichment site. Early morning strikes were aimed at roads leading into the facility, effectively cutting it off and raising international concerns about a potential strike on nuclear assets.

While the site itself was not confirmed as directly hit, this act signals a strategic intent to isolate and possibly target Iran’s nuclear infrastructure in future operations—an escalation that could draw in wider international involvement.
