Blasts rock Tehran as Iran fires heavier missiles

Explosions were heard across Tehran on Tuesday as Israel continued strikes on Iranian targets, with blasts shaking buildings and disrupting power in parts of the capital and nearby cities.

Residents reported repeated explosions throughout the day, while authorities have not provided details on the targets or damage.

Iran said it had responded with a new wave of missile attacks under what it calls Operation True Promise 4.

Officials said heavier missiles were used in the latest barrage, adding that future launches would involve warheads weighing at least 1,000 kilograms.
