India, March 1 -- The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Sunday announced it had launched fresh strikes on targets belonging to what it described as the "Iranian terror regime" in the heart of Tehran.

The operation came hours after Iran confirmed that its Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed on Saturday during a joint US-Israeli strike.

Providing details on the latest offensive, the IDF said in a post on X: "For the first time since the start of Operation 'Roaring Lion', the Israeli Air Force is striking targets belonging to the Iranian terror regime in the heart of Tehran."

Meanwhile, CNN reported that a base of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Tehran was among the targets hit.
