The bombs cut off electricity and destroyed the ventilation system inside the classified government shelter. Video footage captured on social media showed repeated strikes against the northwestern Tehran hillside. The Supreme National Security Council was meeting when the facility came under fire. Iranian authorities believe Israeli spies infiltrated their security network to gather intelligence about the location.
