Israel carries out airstrikes on targets in Tehran

Israel has launched a new wave of airstrikes against targets in the Iranian capital, Tehran. Reports indicate strikes hit a major security compound and a Revolutionary Guards headquarters. The Israeli military also stated that one of its fighter jets shot down an Iranian jet over Tehran, calling it a first in history.

In response, Iran has vowed 'complete destruction' in the region. The strikes are part of a broader escalation, with Israel also conducting attacks in Beirut, Lebanon. France has deployed Rafale fighter jets to the United Arab Emirates amid the heightened tensions.

The situation remains volatile as Israel promises further action, with one report stating it vowed to target any successor to Iran's Supreme Leader, Khamenei.
