Massive explosions in Northern Tehran, as a result of strikes by the Israeli Air Force.

The Main Gate to Evin Prison in the Iranian capital of Tehran was reportedly struck earlier during the ongoing wave of airstrikes by the Israeli Air Force. Evin is considered one of the most infamous prisons in Iran, serving as the primary site for incarcerating political prisoners, journalists, academics, human rights activists, dual nationals, and foreign citizens accused of “espionage” or propaganda offenses by the Iranian Regime.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz in a statement moments ago, “The IDF is now attacking with unprecedented force regime targets and government repression bodies in the heart of Tehran - for every shot at the Israeli home front, the Iranian dictator will be punished and the attacks will continue with full force.”

Footage beginning to circulate which appears to show an Israeli strike earlier against the entrance to Evin Prison, which is known to house political prisoners, in the Iranian capital of Tehran.

The U.S. Embassy in Qatar has instructed all Americans in the country to shelter-in-place until further notice, “out of an abundance of caution” with no further details so far from the State Department.

The Israeli Air Force today launched major strikes against the Iranian capital of Tehran, targeting sites and operations considered critical to the stability of the Iranian Regime, including, but not limited to:

1. Command centers and assets belonging to the IRGC and internal security forces
2. 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗷 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 - One of the IRGC’s central armed bases of power; responsible for enforcing Islamic law and reporting civilian violations to regime authorities
3. 𝗔𝗹𝗯𝗼𝗿𝘇 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘀 – Oversees security and military operations in the Tehran District
4. “𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗿-𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗵” 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 – Tasked with defending Tehran from security threats
5. “𝗦𝗮𝘆𝘆𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗹-𝗦𝗵𝘂𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗮” 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝘀 – Responsible for homeland defense and the suppression of internal unrest
6. 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 - Supervises personnel within the internal security wing and manages the monitoring and control of organizational information and media

Additionally, IAF fighter jets attacked Iranian military headquarters, missile and radar production sites, and missile storage infrastructure in Tehran, as the Israeli Air Force continues to intensify its attacks on the Iranian Regime's military capabilities and will continue to work to achieve air superiority in order to maintain the security of the State of Israel.

The skyline now over the Iranian capital of Tehran, following extensive airstrikes this morning by the Israeli Air Force against military sites and targets related to the internal security and stability of the Islamic Regime in Iran.

Reza Pahlavi, Crown Prince of Iran and son of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi of Iran, held a press conference this morning, once again calling for Iranians to rise up against the Islamic Regime, while officially calling for regime change in Iran. Prince Pahlavi started the conference by stating:

“My fellow compatriots, our beloved Iran has been dragged into a devastating conflict, the architect of which is none other than Ali Khamenei and his corrupt, destructive faction. He has driven our nation’s economy to the brink of collapse, plundered our national infrastructure and resources, squandered the nation's wealth on developing nuclear weapons, shattered Iran’s security, and stolen the sovereignty of the Iranian people. This regime is defeated, teetering on the edge of collapse, and must not be allowed to continue. The time has come to end this ruin and begin a new era for Iran. This is a new dawn for Iran’s Lion and Sun.”

U.S. assesses high risk of Iranian retaliation against U.S. forces soon, U.S. still pursuing diplomatic resolution, U.S. officials have told Reuters. One of the officials says retaliation could come in the next day or two.

Qatar’s Foreign Ministry has said that recent warnings by the U.S. and other Embassies to their citizens in the country were general guidance and “do not necessarily reflect the existence of specific threats.” Qatar is home to U.S. Al Udeid Air Base, and there are concerns it could be a potential target of Iranian retaliation against the United States. Though, Qatar states that the security situation in the country is currently stable and that authorities would inform the public if they need to take any specific actions.

Earlier this morning, the Israel Defense Force announced that fighter jets targeted routes in and out of the Fordow Nuclear Facility in Central Iran, in order to obstruct access to the facility by Iran after it was bombed Saturday by the U.S. Air Force.

Officials assess that Iran will likely retaliate for Saturday’s strikes against their nuclear facilities, by launching attacks on U.S. Forces stationed the Middle East within the next 48 hours.

Footage from a security camera shows the moment that a drone launched by Iran crashed earlier today in the Jordanian capital of Amman, nearly injuring two bystanders.

Maj. Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi, Chief of Staff for the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, stated in a press statement earlier today, “We will respond to the American mistake firmly and in proportion to the aggressor's actions.”

“In order to ensure the safety of citizens, residents, and visitors,” Qatar has ordered an immediate closure of its airspace to all commercial flights, with all flights bound for Doha being redirected to Bahrain.

Fox News is reporting an “imminent threat” of an Iranian attack now against U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

The Trump Administration is preparing for an Iranian attack against American bases near the Persian Gulf in retaliation for its strike on Iran's nuclear facilities this weekend, U.S. officials tell Axios. The scope of the Iranian retaliation — particularly the number of casualties — will determine how President Trump responds, and whether the U.S. plunges deeper into Israel's war with Iran.

U.S. President Trump is scheduled to meet with his National Security Team in the White House Situation Room at 1:00PM, in around 40 minutes.

BBC News is now reporting a “credible threat” to the U.S-run Coalition Air Operations Centre (CAOC) at Al-Udaid Air Base in Qatar, with the threat believed to come from a potential missile attack by Iran.

China has instructed its citizens to immediately avoid all travel and depart anywhere near U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

Iran is moving missile launchers into place for a potential attack on U.S. Forces in the Middle East in response to the surprise American strike on three nuclear sites over the weekend, according to U.S. officials. The Pentagon is tracking a “credible” threat to U.S. military bases in the region, one of the officials told the Wall Street Journal.
