Israeli military launches ‘second wave’ of Iran attacks: Report

The news channel gave no further details and there was no official confirmation.
No IRGC military bases west, southwest of Tehran targeted: Report
Iran’s Tasnim news agency says no explosions have been reported so far on IRGC military centres in the west or southwest of Tehran.
“The sounds heard were related to the involvement of the army’s air defence in three places around Tehran” in response to Israel’s attack, the report said, citing sources. Additional information about the reason behind the sound of several explosions “will be announced later”, it added.
It came after the Fars news agency said several military bases in the west and southwest of the Iranian capital had been targeted in the Israeli attack, according to an initial investigation.
Iranian capital ‘functioning as normal’, says professor
Foad Izadi, an associate professor of world studies at Tehran University, has spoken to Al Jazeera from the Iranian capital.
He said the city is “very quiet now”.
“It’s about four in the morning in Tehran, and we we don’t see any anything happening outside, or any activities or movements,” he said.
“So the city is functioning as normal, and if we had any attacks, I think they weren’t that big.”
Iran closes its airspace
Iran has closed its airspace, according to an official notice issued by its civil aviation authority. The airspace will be closed until Saturday 9:00 a.m. local time (1:30 a.m. ET), according to the notice.
Earlier on Saturday morning, around the time of the strikes, CNN observed four civilian planes begin flying away from the Iranian capital of Tehran on the flight tracking website FlightRadar24.
US, Israeli media reporting attacks to last several hours
Doron Kadosh, a reporter with Israel’s army radio, has cited an unnamed source who said the Israeli attacks “are expected to continue for several more hours”.
Israel is preparing for more attacks, as well as for defensive measures in case of a possible Iranian response, Kadosh said.
Citing an unnamed source briefed on Israel’s military planning, The Washington Post also reported that the Israeli “target list contains military assets, particularly missile manufacturing facilities and aerial defense sites”.
