JERUSALEM, March 7 (Xinhua) -- The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday that it had carried out a new wave of strikes targeting Iranian infrastructure, including the main military university of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Tehran.
In a statement, the IDF said more than 80 Israeli Air Force fighter jets, operating with intelligence guidance, carried out the strikes in Tehran and other areas across central Iran.
The statement added that the targeted Imam Hossein University was allegedly used for training IRGC officers.
The university had also been used as an emergency asset and, more recently, as an IRGC assembly compound, and it contained multiple military assets used by the IRGC, said the IDF.
The statement said additional targets included a storage facility of Iran's missile unit that housed military bunkers and launch infrastructure, as well as an underground complex used to store ballistic missiles, where hundreds of operatives were reportedly active.
The underground site allegedly included military bunkers and command centers from which senior officials were operating, it said. ■
