Overview

  • Israel’s Defense Ministry confirmed Monday’s air raids on Tehran targeted multiple regime sites, including Evin Prison’s main gate and administrative buildings.
  • Surveillance footage circulated online showed the prison gate destroyed and blasts damaging nearby power infrastructure.
  • Iranian state media said security forces retained control of the complex, though families reported detainee injuries and unverified escape reports.
  • The judicial authority said inmates were transferred to other facilities in Tehran to free space for emergency crews and secure their welfare.
  • France’s foreign minister condemned the strike over risks to two French nationals held at Evin and Amnesty International cautioned that targeting civilian objects may violate international humanitarian law.
