Israel Launches Fresh Wave of Airstrikes on Tehran After Evacuation Warning

The Israeli military said late Monday that it has begun a new wave of airstrikes targeting Iran’s capital, Tehran, marking a further escalation in the ongoing confrontation between the two countries.

In a brief statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that the strikes were underway but did not immediately provide details on the specific targets or the extent of the damage.

The announcement came shortly after Israeli authorities issued an evacuation warning to residents in parts of Tehran. The warning was directed particularly at civilians living near the headquarters of Iran’s state broadcaster, IRIB (Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting), suggesting that the area could be among the intended targets.

Witnesses in Tehran reported hearing explosions in several districts of the city late Monday, though Iranian officials have yet to release a comprehensive assessment of casualties or damage.

The latest strikes underscore the intensifying hostilities between Israel and Iran, raising concerns of a broader regional conflict. International observers have urged restraint as tensions continue to mount, with fears that further retaliation from either side could destabilize the wider Middle East.

More details are expected as the situation develops.
