Military operations and strategic targets
The Israeli military command mobilized around 50 Força Aérea fighters to carry out this phase of the offensive. The aircraft dropped approximately 100 bombs on an underground bunker used by the top leadership of the Iranian government. The structure functioned as an emergency command center for coordinating war tactics and remained active even after the death of Khamenei, according to reports released by intelligence and security forces.
