The conflict between Iran and Israel continues to escalate sharply as Tehran has been rocked by a series of large-scale airstrikes carried out by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The explosions have been described as “unprecedented,” causing significant damage to key military sites and critical infrastructure across the Iranian capital.

According to international sources, Israeli strikes have targeted multiple strategic locations, including the headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), missile production facilities, and intelligence centers. Several areas in Tehran have been engulfed in smoke and fire, raising concerns about the growing scale of destruction in the city.

Despite the damage, the IRGC has declared that it will not back down. The force continues to launch retaliatory attacks using missiles and drones against Israeli targets. In recent days, Iran has intensified its offensive strategy, demonstrating its determination to maintain military pressure and respond to Israeli airstrikes.

The phrase “70th attack wave” has been used by some media outlets to emphasize the frequency and persistence of Iran’s retaliatory operations, although the exact number has not been widely verified. Nevertheless, it is clear that both sides are engaging in increasingly frequent exchanges, heightening the risk of a broader regional conflict.

Since the outbreak of hostilities in late February 2026, both Iran and Israel have conducted large-scale military operations, resulting in significant casualties and widespread infrastructure damage. Tehran has been hit repeatedly by airstrikes, while Israel has also faced waves of ballistic missiles and other advanced weaponry launched from Iran.

Experts warn that the situation could continue to escalate without timely diplomatic intervention. In an increasingly volatile geopolitical environment, any further military action risks triggering a wider crisis across the Middle East.
