Israel has launched a fresh wave of overnight airstrikes across Iran, killing at least nine people, according to reports by state-run Iranian media.
The strikes reportedly targeted multiple locations, including Ahvaz, Bandar Lengeh, Karaj, and Shiraz, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two countries.
The development comes shortly after United States President, Donald Trump, issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran, demanding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz or face severe military consequences.
The latest attacks are part of a broader intensification of hostilities following coordinated US-Israel operations, further heightening tensions across the region.
Reports indicate the strikes were in retaliation for earlier Iranian attacks on Israel, including a deadly missile strike in Beit Shemesh that left nine people dead.
