The Israeli military said it had dealt a "severe blow" to Iran's command and control centers after a fresh wave of strikes on military targets in the Islamic republic.
The military said it "struck dozens of the regime's military command centers, including headquarters belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), intelligence headquarters, IRGC Air Force command centers, and internal security headquarters".
The U.S. military announced it had destroyed the IRGC headquarters.
"America has the most powerful military on earth, and the IRGC no longer has a headquarters," the US Central Command, or CENTCOM, said in a statement, adding that the strike had occurred on Saturday.
