Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that Israel launched attacks on Iranian soil. The IRGC disclosed that air-launched ballistic missiles were used in the assaults. Reports from Iranian state media indicated explosions in various cities, including Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan, and Karaj. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed targeting military sites in western and central Iran.
The Karun petrochemical plant in Mahshahr, southwest Iran, suffered partial damage from an Israeli projectile, as reported by Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency. Additionally, the Israeli military intercepted a missile from Yemen aimed at Israeli territory. Sirens blared in central Israel, including Tel Aviv, due to the missile attack. Israel retaliated with strikes on Iran, targeting military installations in western and central regions.
The IRGC retaliated by launching ballistic missiles at the Ramat David Air Base in northern Israel following increased Israeli military actions in southern Lebanon. Chief Commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Ali Abdollahi, warned of severe consequences if Israel escalates attacks on southern Lebanon or Beirut’s Dahieh district. The missile launches triggered alarms across northern Israel, although no immediate injuries or damages were reported. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir affirmed readiness to respond decisively to any threats.
