Tehran: Explosions were heard in several parts of Tehran on Tuesday evening as US-Israeli attacks on Iran continued to escalate, according to Iranian media.

According to Anadolu Agency, blasts were reported in Tehran, the central city of Isfahan, and Tabriz in the country's north. No further details were available about casualties.

The Israel army earlier stated that its warplanes carried out a combined wave of strikes targeting several sites in Tehran and Tabriz. A military statement indicated that the targets included 'command centers' belonging to the Iranian armed forces, a special units command center in Tabriz, and a military compound in Tehran.

Regional escalation has flared as Israel and the US launched a joint attack against Iran, resulting in more than 1,200 people killed and 10,000 injured since last week. Refusing to surrender, Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries that are home to US military assets.
