Israel has intensified its military offensive against Iran, launching two additional airstrikes targeting Hamedan province, with explosions confirmed at the Nojeh Air Base.
Iranian authorities have officially confirmed the martyrdom of a senior Aerospace Commander, marking a significant blow to the Islamic Republic’s defence leadership.
The worsening security situation has prompted Türkiye to suspend all flights to Iran, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq, citing regional instability. Meanwhile, an estimated 5,000 Pakistani pilgrims currently in Iran have been advised by the Government of Pakistan to stay in contact with the nearest consulate or embassy.
According to Iran’s semi-official news outlets, the Israeli strikes have killed at least 78 civilians and injured more than 300, raising alarm across the region.
In a provocative statement, the Israeli military declared that its operations against Iran will continue, with the IDF Chief of Staff warning the public to prepare for a prolonged campaign.
Iranian President is expected to address the nation in a televised speech, while Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed a decisive and powerful retaliation against Israeli aggression.
The strikes have drawn strong international condemnation. Pakistan, Russia, China, and Japan have all denounced the Israeli attacks and called for an immediate de-escalation of hostilities.
