Overview
- The Israel Defense Forces said it carried out a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure in the heart of Tehran.
- The military listed dozens of weapons depots and factories, temporary command hubs, ballistic missile sites, air defenses, and observation posts among the targets.
- Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, in a message carried by state broadcaster IRIB, warned that American- and Israeli‑affiliated universities in West Asia could be treated as legitimate targets.
- Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei accused the United States and Israel of deliberately hitting scientific and cultural infrastructure, naming Isfahan University of Technology and Tehran’s University of Science and Technology.
- The report offered no independent verification of damage or casualties, and the warnings shift the dispute from military sites to academic centers that serve students, faculty, and research work.
