The entrance gate and administrative sections of Evin Prison, Sarallah Headquarters, the Basij Headquarters, Seyyed al-Shohada IRGC, Alborz IRGC, the Intelligence Protection Organization of the Law Enforcement Command, and the Intelligence Headquarters of the Law Enforcement Command were among the locations targeted by the Israeli military on the eleventh day of the war.
Israeli forces launched an unprecedentedly intense attack against security and military targets in the heart of Tehran.
Israel’s Defense Minister announced that the targets included the Basij Headquarters, Evin Prison — known as the detention center for political prisoners and regime opponents — internal security offices of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), propaganda organizations, and other governmental institutions.
Earlier, the spokesperson for the Israeli military had announced that the army was attacking IRGC bases in Tehran.
Destruction of Evin Prison’s Entrance Gate
Evin Prison is a symbol of political repression in Iran.
According to reports from within the prison, the administrative buildings, the visitation area, and the Evin Prosecutor’s Office were targeted, and some prison staff members were killed.
Repression by Iran’s regime under the fire of war: Abduction, arrest, and internet shutdown
Reports indicate that a group of political prisoners’ families and local residents attempted to reach Evin Prison.
In recent days, the Special Unit Headquarters of the Law Enforcement Command and the Cyber Police (FATA) were also targeted.
Attack on Basij Headquarters
The Basij Organization, part of the IRGC and one of the Iranian regime’s main tools of repression in recent years, had its headquarters attacked by Israel today.
The Basij had previously stated that with escalating conflict between the Iranian regime and Israel, it would expand the security atmosphere across the country, activating and gradually expanding checkpoints.
This organization has played a persistent and prominent role in suppressing protesting citizens.
Sarallah Headquarters Targeted
In another Israeli strike, the IRGC’s Sarallah Headquarters in Tehran was targeted.
This headquarters is a crisis-response institution of the IRGC in Tehran, operating under the command of the IRGC’s top leadership.
The Intelligence Protection Organization of FARAJA (Law Enforcement Command), which was also targeted by Israel today, is an intelligence agency under the Chief of Armed Forces and affiliated with the Law Enforcement Command of Iran’s regime.
This organization is responsible for monitoring and controlling intelligence, communications, and documentation, and its head is directly appointed by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic.
The “Seyyed al-Shohada” unit, another target of Israel, is a military-security force and a provincial branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, known as the second IRGC unit for Tehran province.
This unit oversees all areas of Tehran province, except for Tehran city itself, and has been actively involved in suppressing citizens during times of protest.
