Early on Sunday morning, airstrikes reportedly targeted areas in Tehran and Isfahan, resulting in significant explosions and rising smoke over both cities. According to Al Jazeera, intense bombing occurred, with black smoke visible in the aftermath. The New York Times noted that the airstrikes impacted both a university and residential zones in Tehran. Reports from Iran’s Fars news agency confirmed multiple explosions in Tehran, although further details were not immediately available. The explosions in northern Tehran were described as powerful, occurring around 7:20 a.m. local time, as air defenses were activated in response to the attacks, as reported by Middle East Eye. The nature of the targets remains unclear, and there has been no official confirmation from Iranian authorities regarding the incidents. Additional explosions were also reported in Karaj, a city located west of Tehran, further contributing to the uncertainty surrounding the situation. The ongoing developments have left many questions unanswered, particularly regarding the specific targets of the airstrikes and the broader implications of these events in the region. As the situation evolves, authorities are assessing the aftermath of the explosions, and more information is expected to emerge in the coming hours. The lack of clarity and official statements adds to the complexity of understanding the full scope of the airstrikes and their impact.
