Jerusalem: The Israeli army launched a new wave of attacks on Saturday night targeting missile launch sites and defence systems in central Iran. The strikes mark a significant escalation in ongoing tensions in the region.

According to the Israeli army, the operations focused on key missile launch facilities and air defence systems. Military sources describe the strikes as precise, aiming to disrupt Iran’s capacity to launch attacks.

Reports from Iran’s semi-official news agency Tasnim indicate that Tehran has fired a new wave of missiles towards Israel. The scale and impact of these Iranian missiles remain unclear as both sides assess the situation.

Authorities in both countries are monitoring the unfolding events. Further updates on casualties, damage, and regional impact are expected in the coming hours.

The strikes are part of a broad, coordinated campaign involving the U.S. military aimed at the Iranian regime’s missile production and nuclear infrastructure.

The intensification of the conflict follows the total collapse of Omani-mediated nuclear negotiations. President Trump, in a video address, reiterated that the mission is a "noble" one to ensure the Iranian regime can "never have a nuclear weapon."

The United Nations Security Council has called for an emergency session to address the "catastrophic" potential of the war. However, with the Israeli military "going all out" and the U.S. "on the same page," according to security sources, the window for a ceasefire appears to have closed as the second wave of bombardment continues.
