ISTANBUL (AA) – Israeli warplanes struck densely populated residential neighborhoods in eastern Tehran on Monday evening, shortly after the army issued evacuation orders for Iranian residents, local media said.
Iran’s Press TV reported the attacks, without giving details about targets or casualties.
Earlier on Monday, the Israeli army ordered residents of Tehran’s District 3, where also government ministries and foreign embassies are located, to immediately evacuate before a new wave of airstrikes.
