Three explosions were heard in Tehran early Tuesday, shortly after the Israeli army issued an evacuation alert for the city’s Seventh District, warning of possible strikes.
The blasts came as Israeli forces reportedly targeted multiple locations across Iran, including Karaj (west of Tehran), Urmia , Rasht, and other parts of Gilan province, according to Iranian media.
Iranian media report that air defence systems have been activated in several areas of Tehran in response to what officials describe as hostile aerial threats. No official details yet on the type of targets or possible damage.
The developments unfolded just as U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire.
“It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE… for 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered ENDED,” Trump wrote, adding that both sides would complete their final missions before the truce began.
Israeli military: Four UAVs from Iran intercepted
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said they intercepted four drones launched from Iran toward Israeli territory.
The first drone was intercepted following sirens in the southern Golan Heights around 1:35 a.m. Shortly afterward, the IAF intercepted three more UAVs, all before they crossed into Israeli airspace.
The IDF said all drones were neutralized successfully and did not reach their intended targets.
