A new stage in the conflict involving Iran appears to be unfolding, with drone attacks now targeting units of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Basij at locations on city streets.

Israeli officials have already acknowledged carrying out strikes on Basij facilities and internal security command centers throughout Tehran during the current military campaign. Online reports also claim that Iranians who oppose the government have been passing the locations of checkpoints to Israeli intelligence as events unfold, allowing for rapid targeting of those security positions.

Recent developments appear to reflect those claims.
One Basij checkpoint was completely destroyed, and reports say that at least ten similar checkpoints were attacked overnight.
Intelligence assessments suggest that some Iranian civilians are assisting by identifying checkpoints and locations connected to government forces. The Basij serve as the regime’s front-line enforcers and are often used to suppress dissent among the population. President Trump previously warned Iran about what could happen next, and supporters say the current actions reflect that warning.

At the same time, the White House has begun releasing video footage related to the strikes, an effort some observers say is intended to influence the psychological dimension of the conflict as well.
