Israel Strikes Back at Iran, Blasts Rock Tehran
Israel launched a retaliatory strike against Iran early Monday (8/6/2026), triggering explosions in Tehran, Isfahan, and Tabriz. At least two loud blasts were heard in Tehran and three in Isfahan, according to IRNA reports. There’s no info yet on casualties. The Israel Defense Forces claimed the strike targeted military sites in central and western Iran.
The attack was in response to Iran’s missile launches into Israeli territory Sunday night (7/6/2026), which caused explosions in Haifa and Nazareth. The Israeli military said those blasts were from interception attempts with air defense systems. Iran called its strike a reaction to Israeli aggression in Lebanon and insisted it would continue operations if Israel retaliates or doesn’t stop its aggression.
The fallout also hit Israel, where Ben Gurion Airport was temporarily shut down and schools were closed on Monday as a precaution. People are being told to follow local safety instructions.
