June 22, 2025 – Yazd, Iran — In a major development, Israeli airstrikes have reportedly targeted the Imam Hussein Strategic Missile Headquarters in Yazd province, marking the first known attack on this central Iranian region since the start of the Iran-Israel escalation.
The Imam Hussein base, considered a critical command and control center for Iran’s strategic missile forces, was struck overnight, according to intelligence sources and regional media.
High-Value Military Target
The base in Yazd is believed to oversee deployment and operations of long-range ballistic missiles, including Khorramshahr and Shahab-class systems, which pose direct threats to Israel and allied forces in the region.
This strike indicates a shift in Israeli military strategy — moving from border-area targets to core infrastructure deep within Iran, approximately 2,200 km from Israeli airspace.
Regional Impact and Tensions
-
No official confirmation has yet been issued by Iranian military authorities, though reports suggest significant structural damage.
-
The strike is expected to provoke a strong Iranian response, possibly through allied proxies or direct missile retaliation.
-
The Gulf region and U.S. bases have raised alert levels in anticipation of further escalations.
