Israel says it destroyed Iran's 'internal security headquarters'

Defence Minister Israel Katz has said that Israeli air force jets have destroyed Iran's "internal security headquarters", shortly after the army announced it was striking Tehran.

"Air Force jets have just destroyed the internal security headquarters of the Iranian regime - the main arm of repression of the Iranian dictator," Katz said, adding that Israel would "strike symbols of governance and hit the Ayatollah regime wherever it may be".
