BREAKING: In addition to the B-52H Stratofortress heavy bombers of the U.S. Air Force and their escorting F-22A Raptor and F-35A Lightning II fighters, F-15I Ra'am strike fighters of the Israeli Air Force are now conducting airstrikes against targets in Alborz and Tehran provinces of Iran.
Following the earlier wave of strikes west of Tehran, a second series of explosions was reported across Karaj, Mehrshahr, Gohardasht, Jahanshahr, Fardis, Golshahr, Shahin Villa, Baghestan, Hashtgerd, Nazarabad, Savojbolagh, and the vicinity of Payam Airport between 03:52 and 03:56 local time.
Residents reported multiple powerful explosions, shockwaves, and vibrations strong enough to shake homes and windows. Several eyewitnesses described continuous sounds resembling incoming missiles followed by heavy detonations, while others reported seeing flashes associated with the strikes.
Particularly intense explosions were reported in and around Karaj at 03:53β03:55, with additional detonations heard from the direction of Hashtgerd and western approaches to the capital. Witnesses in Nazarabad and Savojbolagh also reported further explosions and shockwaves originating from the Karaj-Hashtgerd corridor.
The exact targets remain unknown. However, eyewitness accounts indicate that the ongoing air campaign is targeting multiple sites in western Tehran Province and neighboring Alborz Province.
