Israeli military officials have released an official statement regarding the recent airstrike on a target in Iran, explaining that it involved a strategically significant objective — a communications center used for military purposes by Iran-backed forces
This is yet another confirmation of the tense situation in the region and Israel's efforts to strengthen its position against Iran's military infrastructure, which disrupts the balance of power in the Middle East. According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the strike was carried out on June 16th based on intelligence data indicating that this building served as a crucial communication hub for Iranian military structures. In their social media post on X (formerly Twitter), IDF representatives emphasized that the target was engaged with maximum precision to avoid unnecessary harm to civilians. “We have confirmed that this communication center was used by Iranian military personnel for operational purposes, while Iranian media and military outlets concealed its true purpose, disguising it as civilian activity. During the preparation and execution of the strike, we ensured effective warnings to the 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 conducted attacks on Iranian facilities in response to an increasing number of unconfirmed reports of Tehran's military involvement in the region. Notably, Israel launched a missile strike against an Iranian state television building after obtaining information about the evacuation preparations of civilians in parts of Tehran. This operation was part of a broader campaign aimed at destroying Iran’s military infrastructure, intended to reduce its influence in the region and prevent the proliferation of military technologies and weapons. In the context of numerous military actions by Israel, this targeted attack served as a signal to Iranian entities — regional forces must understand that any military installations used for hostile activities will not go unnoticed. Simultaneously, the Israeli military emphasizes that all operations are conducted in accordance with international norms and with maximum care for civilian safety, employing warnings and intelligence measures to minimize human casualties. These events once again highlight the ongoing tense and unpredictable situation in the Middle East. The international community is monitoring developments, but the Israeli military remains confident in the justification for their decisive actions to ensure the safety of their citizens and to deter aggression by Iranian forces.
