Israeli strike hits area in eastern Tehran’s Narmak district, Iranian media say

Iran has launched approximately 280 ballistic missiles at Israel since Friday, according to the Israeli military.

While most were intercepted by air defenses, the IDF said dozens were deliberately allowed through to strike open areas, avoiding damage to critical infrastructure.

Casualties and destruction have nonetheless mounted as Iranian strikes target civilian zones.

Israeli airstrikes hit military targets in Kermanshah early Sunday, Iran’s ISNA news agency reported.

Earlier, separate reports confirmed strikes on Shiraz Electronics Industries and a Defense Ministry-linked facility in Isfahan.

The Israeli army earlier issued an urgent warning for Iranian civilians to evacuate areas near military sites.

The Dutch embassy in Tehran has temporarily closed its doors to the public due to escalating security risks following Israeli airstrikes on Iran, the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Saturday.

Embassy staff will remain on duty to monitor developments and safeguard Dutch interests, a statement said.

The ministry has activated crisis response teams and continues to advise Dutch citizens against travel to both Iran and Israel.

The travel advisory for Iran has been in effect since October 2022, while Israel was added to the red alert list last Friday.

The recent actions against Israel represent only part of Iran’s response, Behnam Saeedi, secretary of Iran’s parliamentary national security committee said Sunday.

“What has been carried out so far is only a portion of our answer, and more crushing responses are on the way,” he added.
