A month, after Tehran launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles toward Israel in retaliation for strikes on Hezbollah, Israel on Saturday launched ‘precise attacks’ on Iranian military targets. In a statement, the Israeli Army has reportedly confirmed the completion of strikes on Iranian Military Targets. Following Israel’s attack, Iran has now declared its readiness to respond to the ‘act of aggression.’

According to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency, the country is prepared to respond to any aggressive action by Israel. The agency quoted the sources as stating, “There is no doubt that Israel will face a proportional reaction for any action it takes.” Iranian military said in a statement that the attack has caused ‘limited damage’ to some locations.

In conclusion of Israel’s response to Iran’s aggression, IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said, “I can now confirm that we have concluded the Israeli response to Iran’s attacks against Israel. We conducted targeted and precise strikes on military targets in Iran — thwarting immediate threats to the State of Israel.”

Iranian state TV said that the explosions heard in Tehran were due to the ‘activation of the air defence system’ against Israeli strikes. Additionally, Iraq’s Minister of Transport said it is suspending the country’s airspace until further notice amid the ongoing military tensions in the region.

According to Iran’s state TV, operations at Tehran’s airports, including Imam Khomeini International Airport, were ‘normal’ following reports of several explosions around the capital.
