BREAKING: Israel launched air attacks on the Iranian capital Tehran.
Air raid sirens sounded in Tehran, Hamadan, Mashhad and Isfahan, but only a few hits were officially confirmed in Tehran.
The headquarters of Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps was reportedly among the targets, which was later dismissed by the Iranian media.
The Jordanian airspace was used to conduct the strikes.
The Israeli Ministry of Defense stated that this was a “retaliation” strike on Iran for “waging a 7 front war” on Israel, but the attack falls short of the actual threats sent to the Islamic Republic by Israel.
All flights from International Khomeini Airport have now been resumed.
For the record, this attack marks the first time Israel claimed responsibility for an operation of this kind inside the territories of the Islamic Republic.

India and China have completed a phased withdrawal of troops from the Depsang and Demchok areas along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Eastern Ladakh. Indian troops will soon begin coordinated border patrols with the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, according to The Hindustan Times.
The agreement, confirmed by both countries’ foreign ministries on October 21, focuses solely on Depsang and Demchok, where previous clashes occurred, leaving other parts of the LAC in Ladakh unaffected. Tensions along the LAC have persisted for decades due to a lack of a demarcated border, with a major conflict in 1962 and the most recent clashes in 2020, resulting in troop casualties and military buildup in the region.
