The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) today stated it deployed 100 fighter jets to drop over 250 bombs on Iran's "leadership complex" in the capital Tehran overnight. Among the targeted buildings were the president's office, the headquarters of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), an Iranian military officer training facility, and the venue where Iran's "highest-level forum" holds meetings.

The IDF reported that the complex is among the most heavily protected locations in Iran, spanning several blocks in the "heart of Tehran" and serving as the nation's "most important headquarters."

"Leaders and security officials regularly meet at the complex. There, they conduct situation assessments regarding the nuclear program and the progress of plans to destroy Israel, as well as other activities," the statement read.

Iran, on the same day, announced it carried out strikes targeting military areas in Israel and Al Udeid airport, a US base in Qatar. Several explosions occurred in the capitals of Qatar and Bahrain, according to an AFP correspondent on the scene.

Israeli media reported that air raid sirens were activated in central Israel as Iran launched its second wave of ballistic missiles for the day. The IDF stated it is working to intercept the threat.

"The enemy should prepare for continuous retaliation. The gates of hell will open wider by the minute for the US and Israel," the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on 3/3.

US and Israeli forces launched an offensive against Iran on 28/2, targeting defense and intelligence facilities, as well as a number of high-ranking officials and generals. Israel named the operation "Lion's Roar," while the US called the attack "Terrifying Fury."

The US-Israeli attacks resulted in the deaths of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several senior officials. Iran responded with a campaign targeting Israeli territory, as well as numerous bases with US forces in various Middle Eastern countries.

On 2/3, Iran announced it successfully attacked the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the home of air force commander Tomer Bar in Jerusalem, adding that Mr. Netanyahu's fate was "unclear." The Prime Minister's office dismissed this as "fake news."

Israeli media reported that air raid sirens were activated in Jerusalem, but the Prime Minister's office remained intact, and there were no reports of Iranian missiles hitting the city.
