Explosions rocked the Iranian capital Tehran overnight as Iran and Israel continued to exchange fire in the ongoing conflict. Fresh strikes were reported in the early hours, with residents waking up to loud blasts and air defense systems activating across the city.This is part of the broader US-Israel military campaign against Iran, which began on February 28, 2026 (often referred to as "Operation Epic Fury" or "Operation Roaring Lion"). The joint operation initially targeted Iranian leadership, nuclear facilities, ballistic missile sites, and military infrastructure. It resulted in the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and multiple senior officials in the early days.
