In a significant escalation of tensions, Israel has launched a new wave of airstrikes targeting key military sites inside Iran, specifically in the cities of Tabriz and Shiraz, according to Iranian media reports. The strikes reportedly began late Friday night, with loud explosions heard near Tabriz International Airport and surrounding airbases. In Shiraz, the attack was focused on what is believed to be a missile production facility.
This fresh offensive follows Israel’s earlier airstrikes on Tehran, which killed several senior Iranian military officials and nuclear scientists. Analysts view these attacks as part of Israel’s broader strategy to weaken Iran’s military infrastructure and prevent future threats to its security. The operations highlight growing hostilities between the two regional rivals.

As of now, Iranian authorities have not issued an official response to the latest strikes. However, emergency services have been activated in both Tabriz and Shiraz, and Tabriz International Airport has suspended all flight operations as a precaution. Casualty figures have yet to be confirmed, and both Israeli and Iranian officials remain silent on specific operational details.
Tensions between Israel and Iran have steadily intensified in recent months, fueled by proxy conflicts and mutual distrust. International observers are closely watching the situation, warning that continued escalation without diplomatic intervention could push the Middle East closer to a broader regional conflict. Calls for restraint from the global community are growing louder amid fears of a wider war.
