STORYLINE:
Daily life in Tehran appeared largely unaffected Sunday, after U.S. strikes on nuclear and military sites in Iran and as exchanges between Iran and Israel continue.
No disruption to electricity, water or basic services were reported and some residents have now returned to the city after fleeing last week.
The U.S. military struck three sites in Iran early Sunday, inserting itself into Israel’s effort to destroy Iran’s nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe.
Iran lashed out at the U.S. for crossing “a very big red line” with its risky decision to launch strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites with missiles and bunker-buster bombs.
The decision to directly involve the U.S. comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran that have moved to systematically eradicate the country’s air defenses and offensive missile capabilities, while damaging its nuclear enrichment facilities.
Hours after the U.S. struck three nuclear sites in Iran, Iran launched more than 40 missiles towards Israel on Sunday morning, injuring 23 people and destroying apartment buildings and homes in three cities across Israel.
The Israeli military said it carried out strikes Sunday targetting the Imam Hussein Strategic Missile Command Center in Yazd and missile launchers in Ahvaz, Bushehr and Isfahan.
Iran has not offered any details on the damage it has sustained in the Israeli bombardment.
Israeli strikes on Iran have killed at least 865 people and wounded 3,396 others, according to the Washington-based group Human Rights Activists. The group said of those dead, it identified 363 civilians and 215 security force personnel.
At least 24 people in Israel have been killed and over 1,000 wounded.
