Israel raided an automotive services center in Iran's capital city of Tehran on Saturday, killing at least one people and injuring 27 others, a sales manager at the center said.
The attack, part of a joint large-scale U.S.-Israeli airstrikes across Iran, hit the Hyper Car Company, a car repair shop and dealership, when more than 170 people were working at the site.
More than 200 vehicles were destroyed, and the entire center was burned to the ground.
Arash Ali Mohammadi, a sales manager of the company, condemned the United States and Israel for targeting civilian facilities.
"In the name of God, this is Hyper Car Company, a subsidiary of Iran Rover Company. It is completely private. We are not affiliated with any governmental institution or organization. This company has been entirely privately owned. We are the largest supplier of parts for both domestic and foreign cars, and we also carried out vehicle repairs here," he told the China Global Television Network (CGTN) near the burnt-out vehicles at the site.
Mohammadi said the rebuilding of the center could take at least six months.
According to Israeli officials and security sources, Israel deployed about 200 fighter jets in what they described as the largest operational sortie in the history of the Israeli Air Force on Saturday, as the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran approached its one-month mark.
The coordinated U.S.-Israeli strikes hit targets in at least 24 of Iran's 31 provinces, including Tehran, where large explosions were heard.

Beijing on Saturday rolled out a new policy package aimed at accelerating the commercialization of scientific research from local universities, seeking to remove long-standing bottlenecks and build a market-driven system that better connects campus innovation with industry demand.
During the ongoing 2026 Zhongguancun (ZGC) Forum, the Beijing Municipal Education Commission and other departments released a set of measures to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements from universities in the capital city.
Targeting common obstacles in tech transfer, the measures aim to strengthen policy support from the source of innovation, remove institutional barriers, and improve service capacity for commercialization.
The document proposes building a closed-loop innovation ecosystem in which enterprises raise demands, universities provide solutions, and the market evaluates results. Universities will be encouraged to tackle key corporate technology challenges through joint university-enterprise funds among other supporting mechanisms.
It also calls for reforms in talent evaluation and professional title reviews. Universities are instructed to give greater weight to actual commercialization outcomes.
"[We have proposed that] universities must not simply include the number of patent applications and authorizations as evaluation indicators. Instead, they should establish an assessment mechanism oriented toward commercialization outcomes. At the same time, we are vigorously promoting the reform model of 'granting rights first, exercising rights later,' so that achievements with commercialization potential by teachers and research teams can enter the market first, while universities focus on future revenue rights. We also encourage universities, in accordance with the new Degree Law, to recognize joint innovation projects by teachers and students that achieve breakthroughs and deliver strong commercialization results as practical achievements for awarding academic degrees," said Zhang Yaotian, deputy head of the Beijing Municipal Education Commission.
