The Israeli Air Force completed an expanded wave of strikes against key headquarters belonging to the IRGC and the Basij Forces in the Hamedan area of western Iran on the afternoon of Day 16, the IDF announced. This second wave of strikes on Hamedan — following the pre-dawn attack at 02:00 UTC that hit military infrastructure — specifically targeted IRGC and Basij command-and-control headquarters that "served the regime's bodies to manage the ongoing activities and to advance terror attacks against the State of Israel and additional countries across the Middle East," according to the IDF statement. The strikes are part of a broader IDF campaign that hit over 200 targets in western and central Iran within the preceding 24 hours, including command centers manned by Iranian soldiers, air defense systems, and weapons storage and production sites. The IDF said it is "expanding the scope of its strikes against the infrastructure of the Iranian regime in additional areas" with the aim of "broadly and systematically degrading the regime's command-and-control capabilities." No casualty figures have been independently confirmed for this specific wave.
