Israel’s military has said it struck dozens of targets in Tehran overnight, including what it called a centre for the “research and development of Iran’s nuclear weapons project,” in the eighth day of war between the two foes.
In a statement, the army said it had “completed a series of strikes in the heart of Tehran: dozens of targets were struck, including military missile production sites and the SPND (Organisation of Defensive Innovation and Research) headquarters for research and development of Iran’s nuclear weapons project.”
According to the Israeli military, the SPND headquarters “is used for research and development of advanced technologies and weapons supporting the Iranian regime’s military capabilities.”
The military also said it intercepted overnight four unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) launched from Iran. In a separate statement, the army said on Friday it had hit “three ready-to-launch missile launchers aimed at Israeli territory”.
