Israel’s Defense Secretary confirmed today that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out airstrikes targeting Evin Prison in Tehran, along with multiple other sites across Iran. The attack marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two nations, following recent U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.

The Israeli military stated that the strikes were aimed at disabling missile launch infrastructure and other strategic assets. Evin Prison, notorious for holding political prisoners and dual nationals, was reportedly hit, though the extent of casualties remains unclear.

Meanwhile, Iranian officials announced that their military leadership is deliberating on the "timing, nature, and scale" of retaliation against the United States for its recent strikes on nuclear sites. The U.S. attacks, ordered by President Donald Trump, targeted facilities suspected of being part of Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

In a provocative statement, Trump suggested that regime change in Tehran could "Make Iran Great Again," echoing his previous foreign policy rhetoric. The remarks have further inflamed tensions, with Iranian hardliners calling for a forceful response.

The IDF has intensified its operations against Iran, launching fresh strikes on what it claims are missile launch sites. Israeli officials have framed the attacks as preemptive measures to neutralize threats posed by Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities and its support for proxy groups in the region.
