strikes in the heart of Tehran: dozens of targets were struck, including military missile production sites and the SPND [Organisation of Defensive Innovation and Research] headquarters for research and development of Iran’s nuclear weapons project”.
According to the Israeli military the SPND headquarters “is used for research and development of advanced technologies and weapons supporting the Iranian regime’s military capabilities”.
