Israeli military operations target Iranian aviation and intelligence officials in Tehran

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported carrying out airstrikes in Tehran targeting Iranian military infrastructure. According to the Israeli military, an aircraft allegedly used by Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was destroyed at Mehrabad Airport. The IDF stated that this aircraft was used to manage logistics and relations with regional allies. In a separate operation, the Israeli military announced the killing of two senior intelligence officials from the Khatam al-Anbiya emergency command, identified as Abdollah Jalali Nasab and Amir Shariat. The IDF claims these officials were responsible for intelligence gathering and military decision-making against Israel. They were reportedly appointed after their predecessor, Saleh Asadi, was killed during the initial phase of the operation dubbed 'Roaring Lion'. Iranian authorities have not independently confirmed these specific casualty reports or the destruction of the aircraft. These strikes are described by Israel as a tactical effort to disrupt Iran's military coordination and support capabilities for proxy groups.
