🎯 Israeli Air Force targets Basij forces in Tehran' The Israeli Air Force struck Basij Force roadblocks and operatives that were recently established in several locations across Tehran. The IDF said the roadblocks were identified after widespread degradation of Iranian internal security and Basij assets.

According to the IDF, the strikes are part of the broader effort to damage the regime’s core systems and foundations. The footage was seen.
