In a stunning demonstration of precision military power, Israeli forces reportedly struck deep into the heart of Tehran on Friday, obliterating an underground bunker built beneath the Iranian regime’s leadership compound — a site long believed to be one of the Islamic Republic’s most protected command centers.
בלב טהרן: צה”ל השמיד את הבונקר התת-קרקעי של עלי ח’אמנהאי שהוקם מתחת למתחם ההנהגה של המשטר
כ-50 מטוסי קרב של חיל האוויר תקפו הבוקר בהכוונה מדויקת של אמ”ן ובשיתוף אמ”ץ, את הבונקר התת-קרקעי של עלי ח’אמנהאי, שהוקם מתחת למתחם ההנהגה של משטר הטרור האיראני בלב טהרן.

According to military statements and released footage, approximately 50 Israeli fighter jets took part in the operation, which officials described as a devastating blow to the regime’s strategic infrastructure.
The target, according to the Israel Defense Forces, was a sprawling subterranean facility built beneath a compound used by Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. According to Israeli military sources, the bunker functioned as an emergency war-management center, featuring multiple entry points and meeting rooms designed for senior regime officials. The facility reportedly stretched beneath several city streets, serving as a critical component of Iran’s command-and-control network.
The attack came just days after Khamenei was killed in a separate precision operation, reportedly before he could retreat into the hidden stronghold that was meant to shield him from retaliation. Israeli officials say the underground complex had remained in use by senior members of the Iranian regime even after the assassination, making it a high-value strategic target.
Aerial footage released by the IDF appeared to show approximately 100 bombs raining down in a wave of explosions that reduced the facility to rubble. Israeli military statements indicated that the bunker had been built to enable the regime’s leadership to conduct wartime operations from deep underground, a symbol of the theocracy’s reliance on fortified secrecy. Analysts noted that destroying the site further cripples Tehran’s ability to coordinate military actions.
The strike, reportedly conducted during “Operation Epic Fury,” represents what Israeli officials characterize as a sustained campaign to dismantle Iran’s strategic military leadership infrastructure, degrading the regime’s command apparatus.
U.S. military leaders have praised the IDF for its efforts as they teamed with Americans to fight against the Iranian terror regime. War Secretary Pete Hegseth said the mission was being carried out with “unmatched skill and iron determination,” adding that “fighting shoulder to shoulder with such a capable ally is a true multiplier.”
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine said U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and other units “worked in extraordinary coordination with the IDF” during the operation.
