Israel Launches Airstrikes in Eastern Tehran

Serdar ImrenBy Serdar ImrenJune 15, 2025 Turkey Reports 5 Mins Read

Tensions escalated on the third day of conflict between Israel and Iran, with Israel launching targeted attacks on Iranian military facilities. Reports indicate that various locations, including Tehran and Isfahan, were hit, raising concerns over the situation’s implications for regional stability. Officials from both sides have exchanged harsh rhetoric and plans for further military actions as hostilities continue to unfold.

2) “We shot a nuclear facility in Isfahan”
3) “100 buildings will be demolished for each building”
4) “Operation will not work if not destroyed”
5) ‘War Cabinet’ will be gathered

East of Tehran is hit

On the night of the recent attacks, explosions were reported east of Tehran, with significant activity noted in urban areas. The Iranian air defense systems were activated as alarm bells echoed through the capital. Eyewitness accounts reported distinct sounds of blasts, further intensified by the ongoing military operations. In addition, multiple explosions were confirmed to have occurred near a five-star hotel and also at Mehrabad Airport, raising alarms about the safety of civilians in these high-traffic areas.

The Israeli strikes were aimed at significant military installations intended to diminish Iran’s capabilities to project power across the region. Sources claim that the Shéhid Fekuri Air Base, positioned strategically near Tabriz, was among the primary targets. Following the initial attacks, Iranian Red Crescent and Civil Defense units were dispatched to the impacted locations to assess the damages and provide assistance. Uncontrolled flames and thick smoke clouds were visible rising from the air base, illustrating the extent of the devastation.

“We shot a nuclear facility in Isfahan”

The Israeli military has openly declared an attack on what they describe as a pivotal nuclear facility in the Isfahan region. Specific details released by military spokesperson Avichay Adraee via social media suggest that this facility was crucial in the production of nuclear weapons, particularly focusing on the enrichment of uranium. It was reported that the facility was tasked with uranium reprocessing, essential for developing nuclear capabilities and elements.

The attack allegedly aimed to devastate key infrastructures within the facility, which included buildings dedicated to the production of metallic uranium, laboratories, and conversion infrastructure related to enriched uranium. By targeting these locations, Israeli forces hope to curtail Iran’s nuclear ambitions and, therefore, its perceived threat to regional stability.

“100 buildings will be demolished for each building”

In the aftermath of the Iranian retaliatory attacks, Israeli officials have begun to respond with increasingly aggressive rhetoric. Israeli Energy and Infrastructure Minister Eli Cohen stated emphatically that for every building targeted in Israel, the Iranian response would necessitate the demolition of 100 buildings within Iran. This statement reflects an escalating cycle of threats that could lead to more severe military engagements between both nations.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was seen visiting areas in Bat Yam that had sustained damage from Iranian strikes. In a deliberate move, he instructed ministers to refrain from issuing public statements concerning Iran, signaling a strategic shift to manage internal communications as the situation evolves.

“Operation will not work if not destroyed”

Reports from Al Arabiya have indicated that a high-ranking Israeli official conveyed critical sentiments regarding the operation targeting Iran’s nuclear capabilities. The official expressed that if Israel fails to demolish the Fordow nuclear reactor, which plays a key role in Iran’s nuclear weapon development program, the operation would essentially be rendered ineffective. This sentiment heightens the stakes of Israel’s military endeavors, implying that failure in the objective could provoke further hostilities and potentially detrimental consequences.

‘War Cabinet’ will be gathered

In light of the rapidly evolving conflict, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has convened a ‘War Cabinet’ meeting scheduled for late tonight. This meeting is expected to involve various ministers and senior military officials engaged in a comprehensive situation assessment. Officials are likely to discuss the next steps in Israel’s military strategy and the country’s readiness to confront the Iranian threat.

Local media reports suggest that expectations are high regarding decisive actions or strategies to be announced following the meeting. The sense of urgency is palpable, as decisions made here could significantly influence both the immediate future of Israeli security and the broader regional landscape.

No. Key Points
1 Israel launched targeted attacks on Iranian military facilities, including key nuclear sites.
2 Explosions were reported in urban areas of Tehran and at Mehrabad Airport.
3 Israeli officials issued high-stakes threats in response to Iranian retaliations.
4 A meeting of Israel’s ‘War Cabinet’ is planned to assess the ongoing conflict.
5 The potential collapse of the Fordow reactor could invalidate Israel’s military operations.

Summary

The recent military actions between Israel and Iran have led to significant escalations, marked by focused attacks on military and nuclear facilities. As both nations exchange dire threats and retaliatory measures, the situation remains precarious. As the War Cabinet convenes, the decisions made in the coming hours could have lasting implications for not only the two countries involved but also for regional security and international relations.
