Israeli military officials have published their official position regarding the recent airstrike on a target in Iran, explaining that it was a strategic target — a communication center used for military purposes by Iranian-aligned forces
This is yet another confirmation of the tense situation in the region and Israel's efforts to strengthen its position in the fight against Iranian military infrastructure, which distorts the balance of power in the Middle East. According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the strike was carried out on June 16 based on collected intelligence indicating that this building served as an important communication hub for Iranian military structures. In their social media statement on X (formerly Twitter), IDF representatives emphasized that this target was hit with maximum precision to avoid unnecessary harm to civilians. "We confirmed that this communication center was used by Iranian military forces for military operations, while Iranian media and the military concealed its true purpose, portraying it as civilian activity. During the preparation and execution of the strike, we ensured effective warning to local residents. We made phone calls and took other measures to minimize the risk to civilians," the statement reads. Prior to this incident, the Jewish state had already carried out attacks on Iranian facilities in response to the increasing number of unconfirmed reports about Tehran's military involvement in the region. Most notably, Israel launched a missile strike on a building of Iranian state television after receiving information about preparations to evacuate civilians in parts of Tehran. This operation was part of a broader campaign to destroy Iran’s military infrastructure, aimed at reducing its influence in the region and preventing the proliferation of military technologies and weapons. In the context of a series of military actions by Israel, this targeted attack served as a signal to Iranian structures — regional forces must understand that any military objects used for aggressive actions will not go unnoticed. At the same time, the Israeli army stresses that all operations are conducted in accordance with international norms and with maximum regard for civilian safety, utilizing warning and intelligence measures to minimize human casualties. These events once again highlight the tense situation in the Middle East, which remains dynamic and unpredictable. The international community is monitoring developments, but Israeli forces are convinced of the correctness and necessity of such decisive actions to ensure the security of their citizens and to deter aggression by Iranian forces.
