Iranian air defenses were reportedly activated across Tehran once again on Sunday afternoon to intercept projectiles fired from Israel, as local media reported resumed strikes across the Iranian capital.

Two missile-like projectiles hit two locations in central Tehran, leading to explosions, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Sunday. Simultaneously, strikes were reported in Tabriz and the surrounding region, and explosions were heard in Mehrabad Airport in Tehran.

Some 50 Israeli Air Force fighter jets operated over the skies of Tehran throughout Saturday night, targeting facilities related to Iran's nuclear program, the IDF said on Sunday morning.

The military said aircraft targeted 80 different strategic sites across Tehran, including the headquarters of the Iranian Defense Ministry, the Iranian nuclear project, and additional targets "where the Iranian regime hid the nuclear archive."

The IDF has struck over 170 targets and 720 military infrastructure components across Iran since the launch of Operation Rising Lion early on Friday morning.

Earlier, Israel issued evacuation warnings to Iranians living near weapons production facilities in Tehran as the two nations continued to exchange missile attacks that began on Friday.

"The Israeli military will strike these sites and will continue to peel away the Iranian snake’s skin in Tehran and everywhere — targeting nuclear capabilities and weapons systems," Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said in a statement.

Israel had earlier issued an evacuation warning to Iranians residing near weapons facilities in Iran, an Israeli military spokesperson said in a post on X in Arabic and Farsi. The spokesperson said the warning included all weapons factories and supporting facilities.
