Explosions echoed in Tehran and power was cut off in some parts of the capital, Iranian media reported on Tuesday, following more than a month of conflict in the Middle East triggered by the US‑Israeli attack on Iran.

 

The Fars News Agency reported that there was a “power outage in parts of Tehran after several explosions were heard.”

Tasnim News Agency also reported that some residents in east and west Tehran were cut off from electricity and that authorities were working to restore it, before confirming that a substation affiliated with a power plant was struck.

The Israeli army had shortly before called on residents of a residential area in Tehran to take shelter before an attack targeting “military infrastructure.”

 

 

Strike on "military sites" in central Iran air raids

 

Initial investigations showed that air raids in central Iran hit some “military sites,” Iranian media reported on Tuesday without specifying their location.

 

Fars News Agency quoted Akbar Salehi, the security official in the Isfahan Governor’s Office, saying that “initial investigations indicate the targeting of some military sites in Isfahan.”

 

He noted that the extent of damage and human losses is not yet clear.
