01/04/2026

TEHRAN, Apr 1: Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB reported Wednesday that multiple areas across Tehran came under attack, with explosions heard in the north, east, and central parts of the capital.

In a statement posted on Telegram, the broadcaster said there were “attacks on Tehran,” but did not immediately provide details on targets, casualties, or the extent of the damage.

Meanwhile, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) said on X that U.S. forces had carried out strikes using precision munitions on underground military targets deep inside Iran.

CENTCOM said the operations were aimed at degrading the Iranian regime’s ability to project power beyond its borders. Several media outlets recently reported accusations of U.S. forces striking a sports hall and residential area in the city of Lamerd, Iran, on Feb. 28. After looking into the reports, U.S. Central Command has confirmed the accusations are false.
