US-Israeli strikes target multiple areas across Iran: Media

ISTANBUL

Several US-Israeli strikes targeted multiple areas in central, western, and northwestern Iran on Thursday, including locations near Qom, Hamadan, and Tabriz, according to Iranian media reports.

The Mehr news agency said two strikes hit a site outside the urban boundaries of Qom in the western part of the central city, describing the target as a non-urban area.

In a separate attack, several sites in Kabudarahang County in Hamadan province in western Iran were hit early Thursday.

Press TV reported that a livestock farm near the northwestern city of Tabriz was damaged in a US-Israeli strike, with rescue teams working to free animals trapped under rubble.

No casualties were reported in the three attacks.

Tensions in the region have escalated since Israel and the US launched a joint offensive against Iran on Feb. 28, resulting in more than 1,340 deaths, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and infrastructure damage while disrupting global markets and aviation.
