Iranian media reported on Monday that Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes targeting a military base located west of Tehran. According to the same reports, Iranian air defense systems were immediately activated in response to the strikes.
The developments mark a significant escalation in the ongoing military tensions between Israel and Iran, which have intensified over recent days amid a series of cross-border attacks and heightened rhetoric from both sides.
In a related development, the spokesperson for the Israeli military issued a warning urging civilians to evacuate “District Three” in the Iranian capital, Tehran. The specific reason for the evacuation order was not disclosed, but it is seen as an indication of potential further military activity in the area.
The reported strike and evacuation warning have not yet been independently verified, and neither the Israeli government nor the Iranian authorities have released official statements confirming the details.
This comes amid growing fears of a broader regional conflict, as diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation have so far failed to produce a breakthrough.
