At least 78 people were killed and 329 injured after Israeli airstrikes hit multiple locations across Iran, including residential areas in Tehran, as reported by Iran’s semi-official news agency.
The Israeli attacks reportedly targeted homes, military leadership residences, and sensitive military and nuclear facilities.
According to media reports, three senior military officials and six scientists are among the dead as the Israeli strikes caused widespread damage and fear among the local population.
Eyewitnesses described scenes of chaos in Tehran as emergency teams scrambled to rescue survivors trapped under rubble from the bombardment.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei condemned the strikes, calling them “brutal” and promised that Israel would face severe punishment for its aggression.
Khamenei said Israel had exposed its cruel and reckless nature by deliberately attacking civilian areas, adding that such actions would not go unanswered.
The Iranian government has declared three days of mourning and placed its military on high alert as tensions with Israel reach a dangerous new level.
International reactions have begun to pour in, with global leaders condemning the attack on civilians.
