Tehran Under Siege: Israeli Air Force Launches "Massive" Strikes on Security HQs as 20,000 Reservists Called Up

The Israeli military launched a new wave of heavy airstrikes targeting government buildings in the heart of Tehran on Sunday, March 1, 2026. Footage released by the IDF showed the complete destruction of two major facilities belonging to the Iranian Ministry of Internal Security. The military spokesperson stated that the goal of these "intense strikes" over the past 24 hours was to establish total air superiority and clear the path into the Iranian capital.

On the home front, Israel has mobilized 20,000 reservists to assist civilians and bolster defenses following Saturday night’s Iranian missile barrage, which killed one woman and injured several others in Tel Aviv. This rapid escalation follows the confirmed death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and dozens of top commanders in the joint U.S.-Israeli offensive.
