New Delhi, March 21: According to Iran’s Fars News Agency, at least two explosions were heard in Tehran on Saturday morning. Airstrikes also targeted the city of Shahre-Rey, located south of Tehran, and Karaj to the west.
In the south, a separate airstrike was reported in the historic central city of Isfahan. There have been no immediate reports of casualties or damage from these attacks. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that they were conducting airstrikes on sites associated with the Islamic Republic’s regime in Tehran.
The IDF issued an evacuation notice for seven areas in the southern suburbs of Beirut, stating that attacks on Hezbollah’s infrastructure would continue rapidly. On the social media platform X, the IDF announced that it was targeting the Lebanese capital. According to Al Jazeera, over 1,000 people, including many women and children, have been killed in Lebanon since the escalation of Israeli attacks on March 2.
The Israeli Defense Forces claimed to have killed Ismail Ahmadi, the chief of Iran’s Basij intelligence, along with another senior intelligence officer earlier this week. The IDF had previously expressed doubts about Ahmadi’s death, but has now confirmed it.
The IDF stated, “Earlier this week, the Air Force targeted senior leadership of the Basij unit in central Tehran, resulting in the deaths of unit commander Gholamreza Soleimani and several other senior commanders.”
Israel noted that Ahmadi played a “significant role” in the government’s crackdown on large-scale protests that erupted in Iran earlier this year, which reportedly resulted in thousands of deaths.
It is important to mention that Israel has been targeting the Basij forces in an effort to weaken the Iranian regime’s grip on power. Several high-ranking Iranian officials have been killed in Israeli attacks, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, security chief Ali Larijani, and intelligence minister Ismail Khati.
