Israel has initiated a series of attacks on Iran, focusing on military installations as part of its retaliation efforts. This information was confirmed in live reports from Al Jazeera and the BBC on Saturday (October 26).
The Israeli military has carried out a large-scale operation involving 140 fighter jets against Iran. Reports indicate that loud explosions have been heard throughout Tehran, and air defense sirens have been activated in the city center, according to the Tasnim News Agency.
Israeli news channel 12 reported that this marks the beginning of a second wave of attacks, although specific details were not provided. In response to these developments, Israel’s Foreign Ministry emphasized that all necessary measures would be taken to ensure the safety of its citizens and the state.
The retaliatory strikes have created significant panic in Tehran, with multiple explosions shaking the capital. This attack is viewed as a response to escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, which have intensified in recent conflicts.
In reaction, Iran has vowed to implement stronger defenses to protect its borders. Conversely, Israel maintains that these operations are essential for national security and regional stability.
The ongoing situation has heightened tensions in the Middle East and raised concerns internationally. Many countries are urging for diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict, but the recent explosions in Tehran have complicated matters further.
Meanwhile, the United States has stated that it is aware of the attacks in Iran. The Pentagon clarified that it is not involved in the Israeli airstrikes carried out in Iran.
The U.S. has indicated that President Joe Biden is closely monitoring the situation. According to Reuters, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has also been informed about the Israeli attacks.
