In contrast, Iranian state news agency IRNA reported that a series of coordinated car bomb explosions rocked Tehran earlier on Sunday. The blasts, which occurred near government buildings and residential areas, were allegedly carried out by Israeli-linked saboteurs, according to Iranian officials.
Iranian authorities have not yet released a casualty figure but confirmed that emergency services responded to the blasts across multiple districts. Security forces have begun investigations and have reportedly made several arrests connected to the bombings.
āThese terrorist attacks are part of Israelās hybrid warfare campaign against the Islamic Republic,ā a senior Iranian security official told state media. āWe will respond to these violations decisively and on all fronts.ā
The explosions come just hours before Iran launched at least 50 ballistic missiles toward Israel, as a direct retaliation for Israelās earlier strikes on Iranian energy and nuclear infrastructure.

The back-and-forth military actions between the two countries mark a sharp escalation in hostilities that many fear could draw in other regional powers. Iran has called on the international community to condemn Israelās aggression, while Israel has warned Iranian civilians to stay away from military facilities and related infrastructure.
As tensions flare, both nations continue to assert their defensive capabilities. While Israel credits its missile shield for preventing major damage, Iran insists that its response will intensify if Israeli aggression continues.
The international community has urged restraint from both sides, but with missile strikes, sabotage operations, and public threats becoming more frequent, the prospect of a broader conflict looms large.
