Israeli air strikes early Sunday morning hit residential neighbourhoods as well as military targets in Tehran, Iranian state media showed, as Israel’s bombardment of the Iranian capital entered a third day.
An attack targeting Iran’s defence ministry, as well as its affiliated research facility, struck north-eastern Tehran, near Nobonyad Square.
According to the Tasnim News Agency, which is affiliated with Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards, one administrative office sustained “slight damage”, but videos circulating on social media appeared to show major explosions in the area.
Iranian media reported that Narmak, another residential area in eastern Tehran, was also hit and images showed destroyed buildings.
