Unprecedented': Israel, US carry out extensive strikes across Iran
"The Israeli military said on Monday it had begun a wide-scale wave of strikes on infrastructure targets in Tehran, without immediately elaborating. US Central Command chief Admiral Brad Cooper claimed in an interview that Iran was launching missiles and drones from populated areas, suggesting those areas would be targeted."
"Al Jazeera Arabic's correspondent in Tehran, Suhaib al-Asa, reported that the size and volume of the explosions in the Iranian capital were unprecedented, especially in the eastern side of the city. The Iranian air defence systems were activated in the eastern part of the city, indicating Iran was responding to US-Israeli drones hovering over that part of the city."
"Iran's Fars news agency reported that a strike on a residential building in the city of Khorramabad, located west of Tehran, killed one child and wounded several people. At least six people were killed in strikes on homes in Tabriz city, according to Fars."
Tehran is experiencing a significant wave of strikes as the US and Israel launch attacks against Iranian infrastructure. Iran has vowed to retaliate against regional countries if its power plants are targeted. The US military has targeted a turbine engine production site linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Reports indicate unprecedented explosions in Tehran, with Iranian air defense systems activated. Civilian casualties have been reported, including deaths in Tabriz and Khorramabad due to strikes on residential areas.
