The Israeli military has claimed that its air force destroyed 16 aircraft belonging to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force during overnight attacks in Tehran. According to a statement, Israeli forces carried out what they described as a 'widespread assault' across the Iranian capital, including strikes on Mehrabad Airport.

The Israeli military alleged that the airport had been used by the Quds Force as a hub for transferring weapons and funds to various armed groups in the Middle East, including Lebanon’s Hezbollah. The Quds Force is responsible for operations outside Iran’s borders.

The claims could not be independently verified, and Iranian authorities have not yet issued any official response to the reported attacks.
