Tehran, March 23 (ANI) — Iranian outlets reported that a series of airstrikes struck multiple neighborhoods of Tehran on Monday, producing powerful blasts and causing widespread damage across the capital.
Fars News Agency said strikes affected Districts 1, 4, 11, 13 and 21, striking expressways and several urban locations. Reported impact points included Pirouzi Street in District 13; the Garmdareh area in District 21; Shahid Babaei Expressway and Shahid Langari Street in District 1; the end of Shahid Babaei Expressway and Heravi Square in District 4; and Hafez Street at the Jomhouri intersection in District 11, where residents reported enormous explosion sounds.
Fars also reported a child killed in Khorramabad, and Al Jazeera said an air attack caused casualties and significant damage in Urmia.
The incidents came after the Israeli Defence Forces said they carried out a fresh wave of strikes on Iranian targets. In parallel, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it launched the 75th wave of missile strikes as part of its retaliatory operation True Promise 4, targeting Israeli military sites and a key U.S. facility in Saudi Arabia, the Prince Sultan Air Base, according to state media.
As the U.S.-Israel–Iran confrontation moves into its fourth week, Iran’s Armed Forces headquarters warned it could close the Strait of Hormuz indefinitely if the United States threatened strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf warned the United States against any misadventure and said that attacks on Iranian energy sites could prompt Tehran to regard American financial entities that support military, energy and critical regional infrastructure as legitimate targets.
The IRGC reiterated that Israeli and U.S. forces are being monitored and cautioned that concealing military assets in civilian areas would not prevent accountability, signaling an intent to continue operations.
The broader confrontation, which began in late February, has involved repeated exchanges of strikes and has raised concerns about wider regional escalation and potential disruptions to global energy supplies and security in West Asia.
