The Israeli military launched an air operation against the Iranian capital of Tehran, struck on air defense systems. This was officially reported by the Chief of Staff of the Defense Army of Israel (Tsakhal) Eyal Zamir and the Commander of the Air Force, General Tommer Bar.
According to Israeli commanders, Iran's aircraft strikes were allowed to operate in Tehran's airspace with greater freedom. "The path to Tehran is laid," the representatives of the Tahal emphasized, confirming the beginning of a new phase of military operation against Iran.
These statements were heard after the Night Raid of Israeli fighters, which resulted in the affected objects of the Iran air protection system directly within the capital. This significantly reduces Tehran's defense capability and opens up space for further air attacks.
In parallel with this, the Iranian media reported explosions in Tabiziz, in the northwest of the country. According to preliminary data, there was smoke in the area of the oil refinery, but the official power of Iran has not yet provided clear information about the nature of the incident.
The situation in the Middle East continues to exacerbate. The beginning of Israeli blows on Tehran can have serious consequences for security in the region, as well as affect international diplomatic relations. Observers are already talking about the possibility of escalation of the conflict to a full -scale armed confrontation between the two states.
