Israel says it carries out strikes across Iran, saying it hits targets in western and central parts of the country, according to reports from multiple outlets. The action comes after Iran fires missiles, and Israeli officials describe the attacks as retaliation. The timing also draws attention to U.S. President Donald Trump’s call for restraint, in which he urges against further retaliation against Tehran.
The strikes are reported as being felt in multiple locations. Iranian state television says explosions are heard in three cities, including Tehran. The attacks occur amid a fragile truce that began on April 8, as the wider war context reportedly enters its 100th day. The United States is also described as working to conclude a deal with Tehran to end the conflict, even as hostilities continue.
Overall, the sources agree that Israel conducts airstrikes inside Iran, that the attacks are framed as response to missile activity from Iran, and that the escalation threatens the April 8 truce while diplomacy with Tehran remains underway.
