Following a massive wave of Israeli airstrikes across Iran, the Israeli Air Force has published video footage showing a direct hit on an IRGC and Basij checkpoint in Tehran.
The Israeli Air Force has released video footage documenting a targeted strike on an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Basij checkpoint in the Iranian capital. The release of the footage follows the extensive wave of Israeli airstrikes launched on the night of March 16, which hit over 200 military targets across Iran, including air defense systems and fuel depots in Tehran.
Iran International—a London-based opposition network heavily critical of the Islamic Republic—reported on the footage, stating that the video published by the Israeli Air Force shows "how a checkpoint of the Basij and IRGC forces in Tehran was targeted."The footage was further circulated by Vahid Online, a prominent independent Iranian citizen-journalist aggregator that frequently amplifies anti-regime content and protests. According to the channel, the Israeli army tweeted the video capturing the exact moment of the strike. The channel additionally noted to its followers that the targeted checkpoint "seems to be the same location as the previous post."
Both source channels are aligned with the Iranian opposition and amplify the Israeli military's narrative regarding the targets of the strikes without pushback. The reporting is brief and focuses solely on the video evidence provided by the IDF.
