Multiple explosions heard in Tehran

Several explosions were heard in the Iranian capital Tehran in the early hours of Saturday, which were reportedly caused by Israeli attacks.

The reports say the attacks targeted a number of military sites on the outskirts of Tehran.

Iranian Fars News agency reported investigations and initial follow-ups show that several military bases in the west and southwest of Tehran were the targets of the Israel’s attack.

Additionally, some of the sounds were attributed to air defense fire, and surveys indicate that most images circulating online are outdated and unreliable.

Tasnim News Agency reports that, so far, no missile strikes or attacks have occurred on IRGC military centers in western and southwestern Tehran.

IRNA reports that, as of 3:22 a.m. on Saturday, Tehran’s emergency services have received no reports of incidents requiring assistance within the capital or its surrounding areas.

An informed source told Iran newspaper that the air defense response was successful.

Iran previously warned that any Israeli attack would be met with a “firm response beyond imagination.”
