Israel has launched a new wave of airstrikes on central Tehran, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirming that its fighter jets are “striking the heart of the Iranian capital.” Moments after the announcement, Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported that multiple explosions were heard across several neighbourhoods of Tehran, signalling one of the most intense escalations since the conflict began.
According to early reports, Israeli aircraft entered Iranian airspace in the pre‑dawn hours of Monday, unleashing strikes that lit up the skyline and sent shockwaves through the city. Residents described hearing successive blasts as air‑raid sirens wailed and emergency crews scrambled across the capital. The strikes come amid a rapidly widening confrontation following earlier US–Israel operations targeting Iranian military and strategic sites.
The latest assault has deepened fears of a broader regional war, with Tehran already on high alert after days of retaliatory exchanges. Live updates from international media reported smoke rising over parts of the city as Iranian air defences attempted to intercept incoming aircraft and missiles.
While Iranian authorities have yet to release official casualty figures, the scale of the explosions suggests significant damage in several districts. The strikes also follow reports that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in earlier US-Israel attacks a development that has thrown the country into political uncertainty and heightened the stakes of every new military move.
As the situation continues to unfold, global powers are watching closely, with fears that the conflict could spiral into a full‑scale regional confrontation.
