Iran’s national air defense force has confirmed that Israel carried out airstrikes on multiple sites in three provinces, including the capital Tehran. The attacks resulted in “limited damage” according to the Iranian military.
The airstrikes mark a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries, which have long been at odds over Iran’s nuclear program and its support for militant groups in the region. Israel has repeatedly expressed concern over Iran’s growing influence in neighboring countries and its threats to destroy the Jewish state.
The exact targets of the airstrikes have not been disclosed, but it is believed that they included military installations and infrastructure linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. The Israeli government has not officially commented on the attacks, but Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has previously warned that Israel will take action against Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Iran has vowed to retaliate against the Israeli airstrikes, with a military spokesperson stating that they will respond “at the appropriate time and place.” The Iranian government has accused Israel of violating international law and committing acts of aggression against a sovereign nation.
The international community has expressed concern over the escalation of hostilities between Iran and Israel, with calls for both sides to exercise restraint and resolve their differences through diplomatic means. The United Nations has called for calm and de-escalation in the region to prevent further conflict and instability.
As tensions continue to rise between Iran and Israel, the situation remains volatile and unpredictable. The world is closely monitoring the developments in the region, hoping for a peaceful resolution to avoid further violence and bloodshed.
