Israel has reportedly shifted its air campaign. It is no longer focusing only on nuclear, missile, or naval facilities—now it is targeting the regime’s riot control headquarters and crowd-control forces.

Stated objectives:
• Weaken the repression apparatus so Iranians have a chance to take to the streets and challenge the regime.
• If Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi signals, millions could mobilize.
• A first sign of change: replacing the regime’s flag with the Lion and Sun flag on government buildings.

This marks a major strategic shift:
• Israel is no longer acting purely in defense, but is seen as directly supporting a potential uprising against more than 40 years of authoritarian rule.

Current targets:
• FARAJA (Law Enforcement Command) headquarters
– Oversees elite units such as Amir al-Momenin (street patrol) and Imam Hossein (riot control).
– Equipped with motorcycles, armored pickups, tear gas, Kalashnikov rifles, and even RPGs to suppress protests.
– Israeli strikes are reportedly hitting FARAJA command centers, especially in Tehran.

• Tharallah Headquarters (“Blood of God”)
– A top corps-level unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), responsible for securing Greater Tehran.
– Coordinates security forces including FARAJA, intelligence services, and Basij militia during crises.
– Historically linked to crackdowns from the 1999 student protests to the 2009 Green Movement and the 2022 Mahsa Amini protests.

Israeli aircraft are reportedly striking facilities linked to Tharallah, IRGC internal security command centers, and Basij training sites used for crowd control.

Strategic aims of the strikes:
• Disrupt the regime’s tools for suppressing dissent.
• Break command structures, reducing morale and operational capability of riot control forces.
• Create space for civilians to mobilize, seize institutions, and accelerate political transition.

Early reported effects:
• Declining morale among security forces.
• Signs of defections and refusal to follow orders.
• Drone and airstrikes reportedly degrading Basij centers in Tehran, weakening internal control structures.

What Israel is seen as aiming for:
• Empowering the Iranian people.
• Opening a path toward ending clerical rule.

If Reza Pahlavi calls for action:
• Millions could take to the streets.
• At that point, Israeli air power may be expected to provide cover until opposition forces can organize and gain control.
