France 24 reports multiple explosions and airstrikes in Tehran that have caused power outages across parts of the city. Strikes on Iran's capital represent a significant escalation in the ongoing Iran-related regional confrontation and raise the risk of further reprisals and wider regional spillover.
Summary
Multiple explosions rocked Tehran on Tuesday, with news agencies reporting power outages in parts of the Iranian capital. Reporting from Tehran, FRANCE 24’s Reza Sayah says residents have been hearing “airstrikes, followed by the unnerving sound of thundering explosions," he says, noting that airstrikes have been knocking out power in parts of Tehran since Sunday before authorities manage to restore electricity in some neighbourhoods.
