By Bernie,
A massive wave of U.S.-Israeli strikes is pounding Tehran and the western suburb of Karaj, with residents reporting between 20 and 30 explosions across the capital in rapid succession. Fighter jets were heard flying at low altitude over the city as blasts hit multiple areas including western Tehran, the city center, northwestern Tehran, and the neighborhoods of Afsariyeh and Piroozi.
Karaj was struck with particular intensity, with eyewitnesses describing the sky becoming "as bright as noon" and reporting "strange" explosions producing bright white light. Parts of Karaj have lost power following the strikes, suggesting a power substation may have been hit. Additional blasts were reported in Parand, south of Tehran, and in Shahriar.
