Explosions Rock Iranian Cities as Israel Attacks Amid US Talks

Israel launched missile strikes on Iran, targeting the capital Tehran and several other cities, triggering fires and sending plumes of smoke into the sky. The attacks occurred during ongoing nuclear-related talks between Iran and the United States. According to reports, the strikes were carried out with the support of the United States. Multiple missiles were fired at various locations across Iran. Following the attack, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was moved to a secure location. The operation took place in the morning hours according to Indian time. In the immediate aftermath, Iran shut down its airspace and cleared all flight operations. Explosions were reported in multiple cities, including areas near Khamenei’s office in Tehran. Thick smoke was seen rising from several locations across the capital and beyond. After the strikes by Israel and the United States, Iran announced that it is preparing for retaliatory action and warned that counterattacks could be launched soon. Authorities have placed hospitals on high alert, though the number of casualties has not yet been confirmed. Iranian media and reports from the Associated Press indicate that the Israeli air campaign is not limited to a single region but is targeting multiple strategic locations across the country. The scale of the operation has raised concerns of a broader military conflict, with explosions reported in several cities. Meanwhile, Iran has suspended mobile phone services as part of emergency measures. Neighboring Iraq has also closed its airspace and advised citizens to remain alert amid rising tensions. Iran’s defense minister stated that the missile response was carried out as a defensive measure against potential threats. At the same time, Israeli forces activated air raid sirens across the country on Saturday, urging citizens to stay prepared for possible retaliation from Iran. The latest developments are expected to further escalate tensions in the already volatile Middle East region. Israel has reiterated that it will take all necessary steps to ensure its security, while global attention remains focused on Iran’s next move. Several countries have expressed concern that the situation could spiral into a wider conflict. Security measures have been tightened across Israel, with residents advised to stay close to safe shelters.
