Multiple Areas Hit by US-Israeli Strikes in Iran

(MENAFN) Multiple locations across central, western, and northwestern Iran were struck by US-Israeli aerial attacks on Thursday, with Iranian state media confirming hits near the cities of Qom, Hamadan, and Tabriz as the regional conflict enters a dangerous new phase.

A news agency reported that two strikes impacted a site on the outskirts of Qom, situated in the western reaches of the central city, characterizing the targeted area as lying outside residential boundaries.

A separate wave of strikes descended in the early hours of Thursday on several locations within Kabudarahang County in Hamadan province, in Iran’s west, compounding what appears to be a coordinated multi-front assault.

Further north, media reported that a livestock farm on the periphery of Tabriz sustained damage in an additional US-Israeli strike, with emergency response teams deployed to the scene to rescue animals trapped beneath collapsed structures.

Iranian authorities confirmed no human casualties across all three targeted sites.

The strikes represent the latest chapter in a rapidly deepening conflict that ignited on Feb. 28, when Israel and the US launched a joint offensive against Iran — an operation that has killed more than 1,340 people, among them then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Tehran has responded with an expansive retaliatory campaign of drone and missile strikes directed at Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and US-hosted Gulf military installations — a wave of attacks that has inflicted casualties, battered critical infrastructure, and sent shockwaves through global markets and international aviation networks.
