The IDF said the Israeli Air Force carried out strikes against military targets in western and central Iran, shortly after Iran launched a barrage of missiles toward northern Israel.

Explosions were reported in several Iranian cities, including Tehran, Tabriz and Isfahan, according to local media reports.

Additional reports said explosions were also heard in Baghdad and Beirut as the strikes were underway.

Initial assessments of the targets hit in Iran indicated that the strikes included Mehrabad Airport in Tehran, described as a dual-use IRGC air hub; a drone assembly warehouse in Najafabad, impacting Iran’s UAV production capabilities; and a ballistic missile site in Tabriz, where missiles used in the attack on northern Israel were reportedly based.

Reports also suggested that an IRGC compound in Eslamabad-e-Gharb may have been targeted, potentially as part of efforts against senior Iranian military figures.

The strikes came after US President Donald Trump said earlier that he planned to urge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from responding to Iran’s ballistic missile attack.
