The Iranian capital, Tehran, has gone on high alert as air defense systems were activated across the city late Friday amid escalating reports of incoming Israeli missile strikes. Sirens were heard in multiple districts, and the sky lit up with tracer fire as Iran’s military scrambled to intercept potential aerial threats.
The alert follows a wave of Israeli strikes on Iranian territory in recent hours, part of Operation Rising Lion—a large-scale military campaign launched by Israel targeting key Iranian nuclear and military facilities. While previous strikes hit cities such as Isfahan, Tabriz, and Bushehr, Tehran now appears to be in the crosshairs.
This latest escalation comes as regional tensions hit boiling point, with both Iran and Israel trading military blows and diplomatic threats. Tehran’s move to prepare for a direct strike underscores the deepening crisis and the growing risk of a broader regional war.
