Unprecedented airstrikes hit Tehran and military installations across Iran as the US and Israel war against the Islamic Republic enters its tenth day. Eyewitnesses report over 20 massive explosions in the capital alone alongside widespread power outages.
Iran has been subjected to its heaviest wave of airstrikes since the start of the conflict, as the US and Israel war against the Islamic Republic enters its tenth day. According to DW Persian, a Western state-funded broadcaster, eyewitnesses reported that over 20 heavy explosions rocked Tehran late Monday evening and into the early hours of Tuesday, March 10.
The continuous bombardment heavily targeted the capital. DW Persian noted that the sounds of bombing and fighter jets overhead were heard without interruption for half an hour. The explosions were concentrated primarily in eastern Tehran, resulting in regional power outages.
Meanwhile, Iran International—a prominent opposition network known for its staunchly anti-Islamic Republic stance—compiled citizen reports detailing sweeping strikes across the rest of the country on Tuesday afternoon. According to the outlet, attacks hit military and civilian infrastructure nationwide, including:
Kerman: A massive assault at 11:30 AM targeted the airport, the 05 Army garrison, Velayat town, oil company facilities, army air force sites, and Police Station 13. Tehran & Surrounds: By Tuesday noon, blasts struck northern, eastern, and western Tehran (including Marzdaran and Farjam). By 2:00 PM, explosions were heard in Fardis, Karaj, and fighter jets alongside air defenses were active over Pakdasht. Borujerd: An explosion at 2:00 PM outside the city likely marked another strike on the 24 Be'sat garrison, which has been targeted for the umpteenth time since the start of the war, according to citizen reports shared by the network. Khuzestan & South: Five explosions were heard in Behbahan at 2:00 PM (likely targeting Vahdat town), multiple blasts occurred in Bushehr at noon, and the sound of fighter jets filled the skies over Borazjan at 1:10 PM.Sources indicate a coordinated, multi-city bombardment campaign. Both outlets rely heavily on eyewitness and citizen reporting, which is standard for covering internal Iranian events due to state censorship and restricted press access. The geographic spread of the explosions points to a nationwide military campaign targeting both military garrisons and civilian infrastructure like oil companies and power grids.
