Israel strikes IRGC-linked university in Tehran VIDEO

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it carried out strikes in recent days against a military facility of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) embedded within Imam Hossein University in central Tehran.

According to the IDF, the university is “one of the IRGC’s central military infrastructure sites” and has allegedly been used under civilian cover for weapons research and development, including projects tied to ballistic missiles and other advanced capabilities.

The military said the strikes targeted several core components of the site, including underground wind tunnels used for ballistic missile testing, a chemistry center reportedly involved in chemical weapons research, and a central engineering complex connected to weapons development.

The IDF has struck the site previously, emphasizing that the university’s direct affiliation with the IRGC and its role in advancing military capabilities make it a legitimate target. “Strikes were aimed at significantly degrading Iran’s weapons production and development capabilities,” the military added.
