In the hours before a cease-fire between Israel and Iran went into effect Tuesday morning, Tehran was pounded by the most intense and sustained airstrikes since the war started on June 13, residents said.
Fifteen residents, speaking by phone and in texts and audio messages, said large flames illuminated the night sky over the city and there were massive billows of smoke. Close to sunrise, the attacks came to an end, according to four residents in different parts of the city.
