Overnight on Wednesday, around 100 Basij soldiers were killed across Tehran by dozens to hundreds of suicide drones in a covert operation some are comparing to Israel’s previous pager operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon. The drones hit Basij bases, motorcycles, and vehicles, targeting IRGC, Basij, and special forces checkpoints.
Iraq also experienced a heavy night of strikes against pro-Iranian militias.
At the same time, the regime in Iran continues its efforts at self-preservation through sustained attrition from within Iran and on other fronts.
🚨 NEW: Israel appears to be opening a new phase of the war—suicide drones striking IRGC & Basij checkpoints across Tehran.
Street-level regime control posts are being taken out, potentially weakening the regime’s grip and giving Iranians space to take to the streets.
