Iran Confirms Attack Amid Ongoing Tensions with Israel

Iran Confirms Israeli Attack

Iran's military has officially acknowledged an Israeli attack on its territory following several explosions heard in Tehran over the weekend. The air defense forces reported that the attack was aimed at military centers located in Tehran province, Khuzestan, and Ilam, areas bordering Iraq. They stated the damages were 'limited' in certain locations.

Israeli Military Response

In response, the Israeli army has warned that Iran will 'pay a high price' if tensions escalate further. The spokesperson for the Israeli army stated, 'If the Iranian regime makes the mistake of starting a new cycle of escalation, we will be forced to respond.' He emphasized, 'Our message is clear: all those who threaten the State of Israel and attempt to plunge the region into greater escalation will pay a high price.'

Strategic Military Strikes

Israeli forces reportedly conducted 'precise and targeted' strikes on Iran, focusing on missile manufacturing sites, air defense batteries, and other aerial systems as retaliation for an Iranian attack on Israel on October 1. U.S. officials were notified in advance of Israel's military actions against Iran; however, Washington is not involved in these operations.

Regional Security Developments

Meanwhile, Syrian air defenses were reportedly activated early Saturday to counter an Israeli aerial attack. Syrian sources indicated that the Israeli military launched missile strikes from the occupied Golan Heights targeting military positions in central and southern Syria around 2:00 AM local time.
