Trump demands Iran’s ‘unconditional surrender’; Israeli strikes hit Beirut
In its latest update on its military operations, Israel’s armed forces say over 80 of its fighter jets struck “key Iranian regime military infrastructure in Tehran and central Iran”.
The IDF said its targets included ballistic missile storage facilities and “Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Imam Hossein military university – used for IRGC officer training and assembly compound”.
Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport – a major hub for domestic flights in Iran – was also struck early on Saturday, though this was not included as a target in the IDF update.
Meanwhile, the IRGC released its own statements, saying the latest phase of its operation involved large-scale, combined strikes using new-generation missiles and drones against US positions.
According to the statement carried by the IRNA news agency, one of the main targets was the Al Dhafra Air Base in the UAE, where precision missiles and drones struck key installations.
The IRGC declared the attack destroyed an advanced early-warning radar system, hangars used for maintaining MQ‑9 drones, and facilities linked to US reconnaissance aircraft, including the U‑2.
The IRGC also reported heavy missile strikes on the Ali Al Salem airbase in Kuwait, saying cruise and ballistic missiles damaged the base’s radar systems, fuel storage facilities, and two runways used by US aircraft.
