The United States and Israel have conducted targeted strikes on a production facility and an equestrian club in the Iranian city of Isfahan, resulting in significant casualties. The Operative Information Center-OMM, citing Tasnim, reported that the deputy governor of Isfahan province for security confirmed the details of the operation.
According to official statements, at least 11 people were killed and several others wounded during the strikes. The official further noted that this latest wave of military action targeted a total of eight cities across Iran, marking a significant intensification of hostilities in the region.
The military operations began on February 28, when US and Israeli forces launched a series of airstrikes against Iranian targets. It was reported that Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed during the initial strikes on the morning of February 28, a fact that was officially confirmed in Iran on March 1. In response, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced a large-scale retaliatory operation, targeting facilities within Israel. Additionally, US military bases located in Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia have reportedly come under fire as the conflict spreads across the Middle East.
Isfahan is a strategically vital province in central Iran, housing several key military and industrial sites, including facilities related to the country's nuclear and missile programs. These developments follow months of heightened diplomatic and military friction between Tehran and the West. US President Donald Trump has previously emphasized the administration's commitment to regional security and the containment of threats to international stability. The current escalation marks one of the most direct military confrontations in the region in recent years, drawing international concern over the potential for a wider conventional war.
