New explosions rock Iranian capital amid US-Israeli strikes
Iranian air defense system activated following blasts, says Anadolu reporter
TEHRAN, Iran
A fresh wave of explosions rocked the Iranian capital Tehran on Tuesday, as US and Israeli attacks continued unabated on the country.
According to an Anadolu reporter, Iranian air defense systems were activated following the blasts.
No further information was yet available about injuries or damage.
The attacks came as regional hostilities have escalated since Israel and the US launched a joint offensive on Iran on Feb. 28, killing more than 1,340 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and damage to infrastructure while disrupting global markets and aviation.
