According to Iran International English, Tehran has witnessed a fresh wave of tension early Saturday as air defence systems were activated in the central and eastern parts of the city, breaking a brief period of calm. The development came shortly after Israel confirmed a new round of airstrikes, raising fears of further escalation in the region.
According to Nour News, a media outlet affiliated with the Iranian state, “After 15 hours of calm in Tehran, sounds of air defence activity were heard early Saturday in central and eastern parts of the city.” The report offered no details on the targets or effectiveness of the defence systems.
While Israel acknowledged launching the latest strikes, it has not disclosed their scope or specific objectives. The timing suggests an intensification of the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel, who have engaged in repeated retaliatory actions over recent months.
The Iranian government has not yet issued an official statement about the incident. However, local sources reported explosions near military facilities and key infrastructure. Witnesses in Tehran described a brief but intense period of fire during the early morning hours.
This event adds to a growing pattern of military exchanges between the two nations. Both sides have been involved in tit-for-tat operations, including drone attacks, cyber warfare, and targeted air raids, often striking at each other’s strategic assets or regional proxy forces.
As of now, there have been no confirmed reports of casualties or damage from the latest incident. Still, the episode highlights the precarious security situation in the Middle East and the ever-present risk of a broader confrontation.
