Defense Minister Israel Katz on Wednesday morning issued a strong warning ahead of additional IDF strikes in Iran.
“A tornado is sweeping over Tehran. Government symbols are being bombed and collapsing, starting with the broadcasting authority, and soon more targets, while masses of residents are fleeing. This is how dictatorships collapse,” Katz said.
His statement follows another night of IDF strikes against Iranian targets as part of Operation "Rising Lion."
On Tuesday night, over 50 IAF fighter jets completed a series of intelligence-based strikes on military targets in the area of Tehran.
As part of the broad effort to operate against Iran’s nuclear weapons development project, the IAF struck a facility used to manufacture centrifuges in Tehran that was designed to enable the Iranian regime to expand the scale and speed of its uranium enrichment to develop nuclear weapons.
The Iranian regime is enriching uranium for the purpose of developing nuclear weapons. Nuclear power for civilian use does not require enrichment at these levels.
The IAF also struck several weapons manufacturing sites overnight, including a facility used to produce raw materials and components for the assembly of surface-to-surface missiles, which the Iranian regime has fired and continues to fire toward the State of Israel. In addition, a facility for manufacturing components of surface-to-air missiles designed to attack aircraft was also struck.
