Waves of airstrikes hit Tehran as thousands of US Marines arrive in the Middle East

Multiple explosions rocked eastern and northeastern Tehran as Israeli strikes hit the Iranian capital. Video footage captured in the night of Saturday (28 March) shows successive blasts illuminating the night sky, with flashes and smoke rising over residential areas. The strikes are part of a wider pattern of US and Israeli air attacks on the city in recent days. The IDF said this morning that it had completed “another wave” of airstrikes across the Iranian capital of Tehran. Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said forces were ready for any US ground invasion, warning on Sunday (29 March) they would “set them on fire.”
