The Israeli military confirmed it began a comprehensive wave of attacks against Iran overnight to Monday, targeting infrastructure in the capital Tehran. According to the IDF, the new attack wave is aimed at military targets in Tehran, with infrastructure belonging to the Iranian regime said to be the target. Multiple reports indicate Israel has begun a new wave of large-scale attacks against several locations in Iran, including Tehran, Isfahan, and southern Iran. A heavy water plant in the city of Arak in northwestern Iran has been attacked, according to the Israeli military and several media outlets.
Iran fired missiles at Eilat in southern Israel, with missiles also reportedly fired at Dimona and Yeruham, according to multiple sources. Several missiles were fired from Iran against Israel on Saturday, according to Israeli defense officials. Several impacts were reported in central Israel after an Iranian cluster bomb hit several cities, emergency services and police said. A 45-year-old man was lightly injured in Bnei Brak, Haaretz reported. A man was killed in Israel by Iranian attacks, according to multiple reports, though the exact number of casualties and extent of damage from the Iranian missile attacks on Israel remains unclear beyond the one reported death and one injury.
I say with certainty, in every room and in every discussion. The new Israeli border must be at the Litani.
Explosions and damage have been reported across multiple Iranian cities. The Iranian state news agency Mizan reported explosions in several places in Tehran. Heavy explosions were heard in Tehran in the morning before the Israeli announcement, according to journalists on site. Powerful explosions were reported in both Isfahan and Tehran overnight to Tuesday, and parts of the Iranian capital suffered power outages, multiple sources indicate. The state-affiliated media Nour News reported an airstrike in the northwest of the country, with a residential block in Urmia completely destroyed. What specific infrastructure or military targets were hit in the Israeli attacks on Tehran, Isfahan, and southern Iran has not been detailed.
Israeli military responses and rescue operations are underway. A powerful explosion was heard in Jerusalem, an AFP reporter on site confirmed. The Israeli military sent rescue personnel to a location in northern Israel after reports that an Iranian missile hit a building there, the IDF said. Israel's military issued a warning about upcoming attacks, but extensive internet shutdowns in Iran may have limited the spread of information, according to Israeli military sources. Defense systems are in operation to intercept the threat, a military spokesperson stated, though the effectiveness and operational details of these systems remain uncertain.
Infrastructure belonging to the Iranian terror regime is said to be the target of the new attack wave.
Diplomatic and security measures have been implemented in response to escalating tensions. Police introduced a security zone in Diplomatstaden where the Israeli and US embassies are located, effective Tuesday. According to the police authority, the ongoing armed conflict in the Middle East has had consequences in other areas where Israeli, Jewish, and American interests exist, with a tangible risk of serious crime that includes shootings and explosions in the area due to Iranian use of criminal networks in Sweden.
Political demands from Israeli officials have emerged amid the conflict. Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich demands that Israel occupy or annex large parts of Lebanon. In a public speech, Smotrich stated that the new Israeli border must be at the Litani River, according to media reports.
Defense systems are in operation to intercept the threat.
US diplomatic actions and negotiations with Iran are unfolding. Donald Trump ordered a halt to planned attacks on Iranian power plants due to successful negotiations, according to Trump himself. Iran dismisses Donald Trump's words about ongoing and successful negotiations, with sources in the regime telling Fars news agency that it will crush all the attackers' hopes for negotiations. The US issues an ultimatum to the EU to approve a previously drafted trade agreement without changes, or risk losing access to American fossil gas, US Ambassador to the EU Andrew Puzder said. Whether this ultimatum will be accepted or lead to further economic tensions is unknown. The current status and details of the 'special plans' Iran claims to have for Tel Aviv and US allies in the Middle East also remain unclear.
