Israel launches ‘major strike’ on Iran

13-06-2025

JERUSALEM/ TEHRAN: Israeli military says it launched a wave of strikes against Iranian military and nuclear sites in a major escalation against Tehran.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the military operation will continue as long as necessary.

Iranian authorities suspend flights at Tehran’s international airport, as news outlets report that residential buildings have been struck in the Iranian capital.

US Secretary of State says the United States is “not involved” in the strikes, warning Iran against attacking American bases in the region.

The strikes in Iran have come shortly after US President Donald Trump said Washington was committed to diplomacy with Tehran.

Here in the capital at around 3 am local time we heard sounds of explosions.

Between six to nine explosions have been reported in the capital of the country, and I personally heard two of them at least but it has been said that these explosions have not happened at one certain place, but rather in different parts of the city.

The state TV, IRB, have confirmed the happening of the explosions and has just showed footage of different places from which we can clearly see smoke coming out of the scene.

We know so far that different parts in the west neighborhood of the capital, in Mahallati, located in the northeastern part of the city, which is known as a residential area and known for having buildings that relate to residents of military officials.

Some of the footage also coming out indicates that the buildings look to be residential.

We had this report from the state TV saying that the Israelis have claimed to be conducting this attack and that the air defence system is 100 percent prepared for anything. (Int’l News Desk)
