US and Israel bomb Iran for fourth day as Trump says defences 'gone'
Earlier on Tuesday, the IDF said it had dropped bombs overnight on the presidential office and the Supreme National Security Council's building in Tehran."This compound serves as the most central and significant headquarters of the Iranian terrorist regime. Its strike further degrades the functional continuity of the regime's command and control systems," the IDF added.Satellite images later released by Vantor showed extensive damage to the presidential office and other major political and military sites, including the judiciary complex, the ministry of intelligence, a building owned by state broadcaster IRIB, and the IRGC's headquarters.The US military's Central Command said its forces had destroyed IRGC command-and-control facilities, air defence capabilities, missile and drone launch sites, and military airfields.The office of the clerical body charged with choosing Khamenei's successor as supreme leader, the Assembly of Experts, was also bombed in the central city of Qom on Tuesday, Iranian media reported.Two videos verified by the BBC showed that the building was almost completely destroyed. A nearby building was also heavily damaged.IRIB said the buildings had been evacuated beforehand and no casualties were reported.The Iranian army said 13 personnel were killed in a missile attack on an army aviation base in the south-eastern province of Kerman, according to the hardline Tasnim news agency.
