Tehran, Iran – 15 June 2025

STORYLINE:
Smoke was seen rising above buildings in the Iranian capital on Sunday as Israel unleashed airstrikes across Iran for a third day.
Iran has responded by firing missiles towards Israel and Israeli officials threatened even greater force as some Iranian missiles evaded Israeli air defenses to strike buildings in the heart of the country.
Planned talks on Iran’s nuclear program, which could provide an off-ramp, were canceled.
The region braced for a protracted conflict after Israel’s surprise bombardment of Iran’s nuclear and military sites on Friday killed several top generals and nuclear scientists, and neither side showed any sign of backing down.
Iran said Israel struck two oil refineries, raising the prospect of a broader assault on Iran’s heavily sanctioned energy industry that could affect global markets.
The Israeli military, in a social media post, warned Iranians to evacuate arms factories, signaling what could be a further widening of the campaign.
Explosions shook Iran’s capital, Tehran, at around noon and again around 3:30 p.m. Semiofficial news agencies close to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard reported one strike in the area of Vali-e Asr Square downtown and another in a neighborhood named for the air force, which is headquartered there.
Sirens went off across much of Israel again around 4 p.m., warning of what would be Iran’s first daytime assault since the fighting began.
There were no immediate reports of casualties.
