According to regional and Western officials, the strikes reportedly involved the use of bunker-penetrating munitions, suggesting a deliberate attempt to reach subterranean infrastructure. The Lavizan district has long been rumored to house military and intelligence facilities, including a heavily protected compound believed to be connected to Iran’s highest leadership.
Iranian state media acknowledged explosions in the capital but provided limited details, stating only that “defensive systems were activated against hostile targets.” There were no immediate reports of casualties or confirmation from the Israeli military, which rarely comments on specific operations.
