IDF: The IDF Dismantled the Iranian Terror Regime's General Staff Headquarters for Internal Security

A short while ago, the Israel Air Force, guided by IDF intelligence, completed an additional wave of strikes targeting dozens of command centers and headquarters belonging to the Iranian terror regime. 

As part of the strikes, the headquarters of the General Staff for Internal Security was struck. It served as a command-and-control hub responsible for linking the senior command echelon with the Iranian regime’s security forces on the ground and for directing the brutal repression of the Iranian people.

Additionally, the Tharallah Headquarters, which was used as a defense command center in Tehran against military threats, was dismantled. 

The dismantlement of the Tharallah Headquarters will further degrade the efforts of the Iranian terror regime to regroup. 

The extensive wave of strikes deepens the Iranian terror regime’s command and control capabilities, while degrading key headquarters and centers.

The IDF will continue to expand operations against the Iranian terrorist regime and its forces, wherever they operate.

IDF: 40 Commanders Eliminated: the Iranian Terror Regime’s Defense Leadership Has Been Eliminated:

It can now be confirmed that the IDF Eliminated the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces in Tehran

As part of the opening strike of Operation "Roaring Lion", the Israeli Air Force, guided by IDF intelligence, struck and eliminated seven members of the top Iranian security leadership who had gathered at several locations in Tehran.

Following the elimination of the seven senior leaders, the IDF now confirms that among those eliminated in the strikes was Abdolrahim Mousavi, who served as Chief of Staff of the armed forces.

Mousavi served as one of the highest senior military ranking officials and was the successor of Mohammad Bagheri, the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, who was eliminated in the opening strike of “Operation Rising Lion” in June 2025.

Prior to the launch of Operation ‘Rising Lion’, Mousavi served as the commander of Iran’s army and held a series of key security positions. As part of his role, he was responsible for managing Iran’s security apparatus and oversaw the firing of hundreds of ballistic missiles launched toward Israeli territory, which killed Israeli civilians during the operation.

The majority of the highest-ranking senior military officials of the Iranian security leadership have been eliminated by the IDF.

With the launch of the preemptive operation, the Israeli Air Force has eliminated 40 senior commanders - a historic strike that was made possible due to the guidance of IDF intelligence.

Likewise, the IDF has dismantled the majority of the aerial defense systems in western and central Iran and is paving the way towards establishing aerial superiority over the skies of Tehran. 

The Israeli Air Force continues to operate extensively in both defense and offense, with the goal of removing threats posed to the State of Israel.

The preparations process for Operation “Roaring Lion” and for the opening salvo included dozens of briefings and operational discussions.

From the remarks of the Chief of the General Staff, LTG Eyal Zamir:

“In ‘Rising Lion,’ we demonstrated our impressive capabilities. I believe the Air Force showed an extremely impressive performance here. We are operating in close cooperation with our most important partner — the United States of America. We are working in coordination with CENTCOM, with AFCENT, CENTCOM’s Air Force, and there is undoubtedly tremendous force here. When we embark on this campaign, that power will be brought to bear — extraordinary strength that will ultimately reach its objectives at the required scale.

I want to express great appreciation for everything you are doing. I believe there is very significant work taking place here. I know that this is complex, difficult, and that the work takes place around the clock. And I want to tell you that all the people of Israel look to the Israeli Air Force with great pride. With that pride also comes great hope. They trust you, believe in you, believe in your capabilities — and I want to express, in my name and on behalf of the IDF, my deep appreciation for you.

Our deepest thanks to you. Be strong and resolute. Be ready. When we instruct you to act and give the order, I trust that these aircraft will take to the skies, strike their targets, and carry out their missions with great excellence.”
