US and Israeli Air Campaign
The combined force continued to strike Iranian defense industrial sites. The IDF struck ballistic missile production sites, including an IRGC missile components complex, a missile components storage site, and a Defense Ministry-linked missile fuel production complex, around Tehran on March 21.[12] An OSINT account on X stated on March 21 that the combined force struck an IRGC ammunition depot in Dezful, Khuzestan Province.[13] The IDF separately struck Malek Ashtar University in Tehran on March 21.[14] The United States sanctioned Malek Ashtar University in 2022 for conducting research to develop Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.[15] An OSINT account on X reported on March 21 that the combined force struck the Research Institute of Petroleum in Tehran, which functions as the National Iranian Oil Company’s research wing.[16]

The IDF has reportedly killed IRGC Aerospace Force Drone Unit Commander Brigadier General Saeed Agha Jani on March 21.[22] Agha Jani’s death would remove a key figure responsible for Iran’s drone operations and disrupt the chain of command of the drone force.

The IDF also targeted scientists involved in an “electromagnetic bomb project” and Fars Province Law Enforcement Command (LEC) Special Unit Commander Kavous Darvishi.[27] The LEC Special Unit is an elite riot control force that the regime deploys to suppress protests and maintain internal security, especially in urban areas.[28]
