IDF completes "wide-scale" wave — strikes IRGC UAV command HQ, Basij base and rocket engine factory in Isfahan

Details

The Israeli Air Force announced it had completed a "wide-scale" wave of strikes using more than 170 munitions across Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz on the morning of Day 15. The IDF specifically confirmed striking the central IRGC headquarters responsible for launching drone swarms against Israel, the Internal Security Force's headquarters in Isfahan, the IRGC's police force headquarters, a Basij militia base, and a production facility for rocket engines in Isfahan. Large secondary explosions were reported at the rocket engine factory, indicating successful destruction of stored propellants. Twelve IRGC and Basij personnel were killed according to Iranian state media; no civilian casualties confirmed. The strikes significantly degraded Iran's drone production and launch coordination capacity, with the IDF noting a reduction in drone swarm intensity in the 12 hours following the strike.
