In Maps: Strikes Across Iran and the Middle East
Iran pledges a strong response after US-Israel strikes targeting multiple cities, with officials citing a premeditated campaign and warnings of uncontrollable escalation.
- After coordinated strikes by Israel and the US, an Iranian official said Tehran is preparing a `crushing` response, Reuters reported on Saturday.
- Planners had prepared the operation for months, with the launch date finalised weeks ago, and US President Donald Trump said US forces began major combat operations to eliminate imminent threats.
- Explosions were reported in Kermanshah, Lorestan, Tabriz, Isfahan and Karaj, while witnesses described long petrol queues and residents leaving Tehran after strikes hit several ministries in southern Tehran.
- Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Tehran's response would be strong and decisive, and Ebrahim Azizi tweeted `Now you have started down a path which end is no longer in your control`.
- The attack follows a 12-day air war in June and repeated US–Israeli warnings, with analysts warning the strikes increase regional escalation risk.
