JERUSALEM: Israel’s military said it carried out strikes on targets in Tehran early Friday, nearly a month into the Middle East war. A brief military statement said Israeli forces “completed a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting infrastructure of the Iranian terror regime in the heart of Tehran.” The military said in a separate statement that it had also struck “ballistic missiles and aerial defense systems production sites across Iran.” It reported hitting missile launchers and storage sites in western Iran, as well as missile production sites in the capital.
