Israel’s military struck entrances to the detention facility in Tehran, where dissidents and political prisoners are held. Human rights groups say the prison is a symbol of repression.

Israel struck the most notorious jail for political prisoners in Tehran on Monday in a potent demonstration that it was expanding its targets beyond military and nuclear sites to aim squarely at the pillars of Iran's ruling system.

Surveillance video captured the moment the entrance to Evin Prison in Tehran, Iran, which holds political prisoners and opponents of the regime, exploded following an Israeli attack.

The main risk inside the storage facility is the chemical toxicity of uranium hexafluoride gas and fluoride compounds generated in contact with water. The radiological risk from enriched uranium at Natanz is likely to be much smaller than the chemical toxicity from the fluorine.

Iran launched multiple deadly waves of missiles and drones toward Israel into Saturday morning following Israel’s unprecedented strikes aimed at destroying Iran’s nuclear program and decapitating its military leadership.

At least two Iranian state-media employees were killed by the Israeli strike on buildings in Tehran belonging to the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, the country’s state-owned media company reported.
