IRGC confirms hits on Mossad, Aman HQs
Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) declared Tuesday that its aerospace forces had launched a new, intensified wave of missile strikes on Israeli military targets, describing it as “stronger and more destructive than previous barrages.”
In its eighth official communique, the IRGC confirmed it had struck the Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate (Aman) and a Mossad operations and planning center in Tel Aviv, which was reportedly engulfed in flames following the attack.
“Our destructive operations will continue,” the IRGC stated, emphasizing that “vital” components of the Israeli entity's military and intelligence infrastructure would remain in Tehran’s crosshairs.
A massive blaze erupted at a logistics warehouse of the Israeli Military Intelligence Directorate, known as Aman, following a direct Iranian strike earlier in the morning.
