BREAKING [WITH VIDEO]: Israel and U.S. Strike Iranian Intelligence Ministry in Tehran as Sirens Sound Across Israel
Israel and the United States have carried out a joint strike targeting a facility belonging to Iran's Ministry of Intelligence in the heart of Tehran, according to reports by Iran International.
Dramatic images released in the aftermath of the attack show massive plumes of smoke rising from the site of the explosion, underscoring the scale and precision of the operation. The Levant Files has independently obtained the related video footage through Iran International.
The strike represents a significant escalation in the ongoing shadow war between Israel and the Islamic Republic, marking one of the most direct and overt blows ever delivered against Iran's intelligence infrastructure on its own soil.
Sirens Blare Across Israel as Iran Retaliates
Simultaneously, air raid sirens were activated across multiple regions of Israel as Iran launched a new barrage of missiles in what appears to be an immediate retaliatory response to the attack. Israeli defense systems were reported to have been activated as the missile volley approached Israeli territory.
The dual developments signal a dramatic and dangerous escalation in hostilities between the two sides, with both nations now openly trading blows in what analysts may describe as the beginning of a new and more overt phase of direct military confrontation.
