Powerful explosions have been reported in Tehran as military operations by Israel and the United States continue across the region.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports, citing the Mehr news agency, that the blasts occurred amid a period of extreme volatility in the Iranian capital.
The strikes follow the recent deaths of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking officials during targeted operations by the United States and Israel. A period of national mourning has been declared in the country, with large crowds gathering in the streets of Tehran to mark the loss of the leadership. The occurrence of new explosions during these gatherings has raised significant concerns regarding potential casualties, though official figures have not yet been released by the Iranian authorities.
Military actions intensified on February 28, when US President Donald Trump and Israeli leadership authorized a series of air strikes against various cities across the republic. In response, Iran launched missile strikes targeting Israel and conducted attacks on fourteen US military bases located in the Persian Gulf region. Due to the rapidly deteriorating security situation in the Middle East, several neighboring countries have temporarily closed their airspace to civilian aviation.
The current escalation represents one of the most significant military confrontations in the region in recent decades. International observers note that the transition of power in the United States under US President Donald Trump has seen a shift toward more direct military engagement to neutralize perceived threats in the region, while the Republic of Azerbaijan continues to monitor the situation closely, maintaining its commitment to regional stability and the principles of international law.
