The strikes follow weeks of rising tensions linked to Iran’s nuclear activities and broader regional security concerns. Diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation have faced challenges, with both sides maintaining firm positions. The military action represents one of the most direct confrontations between Israel and Iran in recent years.
Iranian authorities acknowledged the explosions and indicated that investigations were ongoing to determine the full extent of the impact. Officials warned that any attack on Iranian territory would receive a response.
