Israel military says carried out 'wide-scale' strikes on Tehran
Jerusalem, March 27 (AFP) Mar 27, 2026
Israel's military said it carried out strikes on targets in Tehran early Friday, nearly a month into the Middle East war.

A brief military statement said Israeli forces "completed a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime in the heart of Tehran".

The military said in a separate statement that it had also struck "ballistic missiles and aerial defense systems production sites across Iran".

It reported hitting missile launchers and storage sites in western Iran, as well as missile production sites in the capital.

Iran has been under heavy bombardment since February 28, when the US and Israel launched their campaign.

Israel said on Thursday that it had "blown up and eliminated" the Revolutionary Guards' naval commander, Alireza Tangsiri, and several senior officers.

US President Donald Trump has in recent days repeatedly claimed progress in talks with Iran, even as Tehran denied any formal negotiations were taking place.
