HIGHThreat Assessment
Iranian media report that strikes in central Iran struck military sites in Isfahan province, according to a local security official; damage and casualty levels remain unclear. In the context of ongoing US/Israeli strikes and reciprocal Iranian launches, confirmation of strikes on a central Iranian military area is a significant escalation risk and increases potential for further retaliatory actions.
