TEHRAN: According to Iranian military officials, the attack successfully struck the “core” of the intelligence center, overcoming what they described as “heavy layers of defense”.
Reza Talaei-Nik, spokesperson for Iran’s defense ministry, stated the guided missile penetrated advanced Israeli defense systems and hit its intended target. The centers wereere known as “Aman” and Mossad’s assassination planning center in Tel Aviv.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) confirmed the strike in a statement, calling it “an effective operation, despite the presence of highly advanced defense systems.” The IRGC also claimed that the targeted site was “currently burning,” although no official confirmation has been provided by Israeli authorities.
