"The Revolutionary Guard announced that it launched multiple warhead missiles today targeting the Tel Aviv area. Israel also carried out an assault on central Beirut overnight, resulting in the deaths of 10 people. The Israeli military stated that it aimed to target Hezbollah militants and their installations."
"Iran has been under an intense internet blackout for the last couple of weeks, making it hard to contact people inside the country. Iranians who have managed to get online report seeing increased checkpoints in their cities and towns, where security forces are checking phones for apps used to bypass the blackout."
"Rezvani spoke with a woman in her 60s from a border city in Iran who asked not to be named for fear of government reprisal, even outside of the country. The woman avoided talking about the war, but did tell Rezvani that she wished the airstrikes on her city had killed her, expressing how her life had become unbearable."
Iran launched multiple warhead missile attacks targeting Tel Aviv after confirming deaths of officials Ali Larijani and Gholamreza Soleimani. Israel responded with overnight assaults on central Beirut, killing 10 people while targeting Hezbollah positions. Inside Iran, severe internet blackouts persist for weeks, with security forces establishing checkpoints to confiscate phones and prevent use of bypass applications. Iranians express deep fear of government reprisal, with some describing unbearable living conditions. Joe Kent, head of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center and an 11-deployment Army veteran, resigned as the first senior Trump administration official to oppose the conflict, citing inability to support the war in good conscience.
