In the early hours of Saturday morning, reports emerged of major blasts shaking Tehran, amid statements from Israel that it had carried out a preemptive military action.
According to eyewitness accounts, two loud blasts were audible in the city on Saturday. Simultaneously, two plumes of thick smoke were observed billowing over central and eastern districts of the Iranian capital.
“The type of explosions indicates that this is a missile attack,” a media outlet reported, though it did not initially provide further details.
This event takes place against a backdrop of sharply increased tensions in the region. Key events leading up to this attack involve:
In response to prior accusations, Iranian officials had accused the United States of spreading “falsehoods” about its missiles programme. Officials dismissed assertions about weapons development and protest deaths as baseless.
These developments is fast-moving, with further updates anticipated as the situation develops.
