Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced that it carried out a ballistic missile strike which it said targeted the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a facility connected to the Israeli Air Force command.
In a statement disseminated through official Iranian platforms, the IRGC described the operation as part of what it termed a “tenth wave” of attacks. The corps characterised the strike as a “targeted and surprise attack” directed at a government compound in Israel.
Tehran stated that the operation involved the deployment of Kheibar, also known as Khorramshahr-4, ballistic missiles. According to the IRGC, the intended objectives included the Israeli prime minister’s office and a site linked to the country’s air force command structure.
The statement maintained that the missiles hit a government complex but did not provide verifiable evidence or detailed information regarding the scale of destruction or possible casualties.
Iranian authorities said the Kheibar missile forms part of the Khorramshahr class of long-range weapons developed domestically. Officials in Tehran have previously described the system as capable of transporting heavy payloads across considerable distances and penetrating sophisticated air-defence networks.
Defence analysts have observed that the Khorramshahr series is engineered for extended-range operations, with an estimated reach of about 2,000 kilometres and one of the largest payload capacities within Iran’s missile inventory.
As of the time of filing this report, Israeli authorities had not issued confirmation of the IRGC’s assertions. There was no immediate official comment concerning potential damage to the prime minister’s office or other installations mentioned in the Iranian statement.
