Plumes of smoke were seen rising above Tehran early on Tuesday morning as a new round of airstrikes pummeled the Iranian capital, while Israel also reported it had detected missiles fired from Iran as the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict now enters its 32nd day.
The latest aerial bombardment on Tehran came shortly after daybreak and lasted for about ten minutes, with heavy explosions reported in multiple areas in the east and northeast of the city, resulting in thick clouds of smoke streaming into the sky.
Meanwhile, the Israeli Ministry of Defense announced it had detected missiles being fired from Iran earlier on Tuesday, triggering air raid sirens in multiple locations across central Israel.
The conflict erupted on Feb. 28, after Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities, killing Iran's then Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with senior military commanders and civilians. Iran responded by launching waves of missile and drone strikes targeting Israel and U.S. bases and assets in the Middle East.
The situation shows little sign of de-escalation as Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday that a recent truce plan proposed by the United States contains "very excessive, unrealistic and unreasonable" demands.
