The Israeli military announced "a wave of attacks" against Iranian infrastructure on Saturday, after it confirmed targets of the previous round of strikes, including the main military university of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Tehran.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched strikes against infrastructure in Tehran and Isfahan, according to an IDF announcement on Saturday, via the social media platform X.

In an earlier statement, the IDF said more than 80 Israeli Air Force fighter jets, operating with intelligence guidance, carried out 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, the IDF said.

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.
