The IDF has released its first color footage from the latest strikes in Iran. According to the military, air defense systems in the western and central parts of the country were destroyed as part of an effort to expand aerial freedom of operation.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said the U.S. bears direct responsibility for violating the ceasefire and fueling the regional escalation: "Washington's responsibility for violating the ceasefire is clear."
Iranian air defense systems were activated after what state media described as the detection of "hostile targets." The IDF confirmed strikes on several targets in the petrochemical complex in Mahshahr, in southern Iran.
