Israel Strikes Evin Prison and Fordo Routes: Tensions Escalate in Tehran
A significant military action by Israel targets key facilities in Tehran amid rising regional tensions.
In a dramatic escalation of conflict, the Israeli military has successfully struck Tehran's Evin prison, a facility notorious for holding political detainees. Reports from Iran's judiciary, shared via Mizan news agency, indicate that the situation is currently "under control," despite the apparent damage caused by the recent attack. CCTV footage captured the moment an explosion rocked one of the prison's gates, while state television broadcast images of first responders attending to a casualty and searching through the debris of a collapsed structure.
Israel's Defense Minister has announced that these strikes are aimed specifically at "regime targets and agencies of government repression" within Tehran, marking a direct assault on Iranian leadership structures. In addition to the prison, the military operation also encompassed access routes leading to the sensitive Fordo uranium enrichment facility, located south of the capital.
This military action unfolds against a backdrop of escalating hostilities, with just a day prior, U.S. aircraft conducting operations that included dropping bunker-busting bombs on Iran's underground nuclear sites. In response, Iran has launched ballistic missile strikes targeting various locations within Israel, with one missile hitting an industrial area in Ashdod and disrupting electricity supply to nearby neighborhoods.
The latest reports suggest that the ongoing bombardments have resulted in significant casualties, with Iran's health ministry claiming approximately 500 fatalities attributed to Israeli strikes. In contrast, one human rights organization estimates the toll to be nearly 950. On the other hand, Israeli officials report that 24 individuals have lost their lives as a result of Iranian missile attacks on their cities. This situation remains fluid and continues to develop as both nations grapple with the implications of this conflict.
