The Iranian capital of Tehran is under continuous pressure as US and Israeli strikes hit the city every few hours, marking the seventh day of the escalating war. Residents have described the situation as dire, with the previous night being particularly intense according to BBC Persian reports. Powerful explosions, including at Mehrabad airport, have shaken the city, causing widespread fear among civilians.

Israeli jets have conducted broad waves of attacks targeting military sites, while US forces have struck numerous Iranian assets. President Trump has called for Iran’s unconditional surrender, stating no deal is possible otherwise. Defense officials claim major damage to Iran’s military infrastructure has been inflicted.

Civilian casualties are mounting, with the Iranian ambassador to the UN reporting 1,332 deaths. The conflict is drawing in the wider region with retaliatory actions affecting multiple countries. International calls for de-escalation are growing amid the humanitarian concerns.
