The Israeli Air Force has launched a new wave of “extensive” airstrikes in Tehran, Isfahan, and in southern Iran, the IDF announces.
The IDF says the strikes are targeting “infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime.”
This is the first time that the IDF has said it is striking in southern Iran, where until now only the American military has conducted operations.
