Israel hits Iran's Evin prison, Revolutionary Guards sites
TEL AVIV: Israel hit Revolutionary Guard sites and the notorious Evin prison in Tehran on Monday, calling them its most powerful strikes yet on the Iranian capital on the 11th day of the war. Iran, in turn, fired missile barrages at Israel and vowed retaliation against the United States after it struck the Islamic republic's nuclear sites a day earlier. Loud explosions rocked the Iranian capital, where Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said the military hit "regime targets" with "unprecedented force", adding to speculation that Israel may seek to topple Iran's clerical leadership. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tại sao ngày càng nhiều người cao tuổi chọn cấy ghép răng giá phải chăng?

Defence Minister Israel Katz said the Israeli military was "carrying out strikes of unprecedented force against regime targets and agencies of government oppression in the heart of Tehran".

Taking to his social platform, Trump wrote, "The sites that we hit in Iran were totally destroyed, and everyone knows it."He also launched a scathing attack on several major US media figures and networks, accusing them of spreading fake claims and undermining the success of the US response. "Only the Fake News would say anything different sleazebags in the media," Trump said, naming CNN's Allison Cooper, ABC's Jon Karl, and executives from NBC and Comcast. He alleged that mainstream media outlets now have "ZERO CREDIBILITY." advertisementThis comes after Iran launched missiles toward US military bases in Qatar and Iraq on Monday in a major escalation following American airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend.
