Israel launches coordinated military strikes on Iran and Lebanon
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has launched simultaneous military strikes on targets in Iran and Lebanon, marking a significant escalation in regional tensions.
Israeli officials said the coordinated operation targeted strategic military sites and facilities believed to pose security threats. Explosions were reported in parts of Tehran and other Iranian cities, while airstrikes were also carried out against positions in southern Lebanon reportedly linked to armed groups.
Israel’s defence authorities described the action as pre-emptive and aimed at neutralising imminent threats. A state of emergency was declared nationwide, with heightened security measures implemented across major cities.

In Lebanon, strikes were reported in areas associated with Hezbollah, the Iran-backed group that has had longstanding hostilities with Israel.
Iranian officials condemned the attacks, describing them as acts of aggression and warning of a response. Lebanese authorities also criticised the strikes, raising concerns about further instability.
The development has intensified fears of a broader conflict in the Middle East, prompting international calls for restraint as diplomatic efforts seek to prevent further escalation. The situation remains fluid, with more details expected as events unfold.
