Tel Aviv
The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) on Tuesday said it carried out more than 50 overnight strikes targeting assets of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including command centres, weapons depots and air defence systems.
In a post on X, the IDF stated that since the launch of Operation Roaring Lion, it has conducted over 3,000 strikes across Iran. It added that the latest wave of attacks included ballistic missile storage sites and launch facilities.
As regional tensions intensify, reports indicated that explosions were heard in Baghdad. According to media accounts, at least 14 people were killed in a US airstrike on a Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) base in Iraq.
Iranian media, cited by international outlets, also reported attacks on key energy infrastructure. Meanwhile, Bahrain said a fire broke out at one of its facilities, which it attributed to Iranian aggression.
In Israel, six people sustained minor injuries after an Iranian missile struck central Tel Aviv. The blast caused damage to several buildings and vehicles, with debris also landing in Rosh Ha’ayin, located east of the city.
Elsewhere, Iran’s Press TV reported that Imam Ali Hospital in Andimeshk had been evacuated following alleged strikes by US and Israeli forces.
The conflict has also spread to Lebanon, where an Israeli strike reportedly hit a petrol station in the south, triggering a major fire and prompting evacuation warnings for residents.
Amid the escalating situation, there were indications of possible diplomatic movement. Reports citing Israeli media suggested that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, may be open to negotiations with the United States. These discussions were reportedly approved at the highest levels, involving Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US intermediary Steve Witkoff.
