Iran launched multiple waves of missiles into Israel on Tuesday morning, March 24, triggering air raid sirens across major cities including Tel Aviv, according to the Israeli military.
Explosions were reported in Tel Aviv, where a multi-storey residential building sustained heavy damage. Emergency responders said efforts were underway to rescue civilians trapped in affected structures, while others were found sheltering in protected areas.
The escalation comes after Donald Trump announced a temporary pause in planned U.S. strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure, citing what he described as “productive” discussions with Iranian officials aimed at resolving hostilities in the Middle East.
However, Iranian authorities strongly denied any negotiations. Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf dismissed Trump’s claims as “fake news,” accusing the U.S. of attempting to manipulate global financial and oil markets. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards also described the statements as psychological tactics with no impact on their military strategy.
Meanwhile, Israel confirmed that its air force carried out extensive strikes in Tehran, targeting key military and intelligence facilities, including sites linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and missile infrastructure. Dozens of strategic targets were reportedly hit.
The ongoing conflict has heightened global tensions, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for oil and gas supplies. Iran’s actions in the region have raised fears of severe disruptions to global energy markets.
Despite signals from Washington suggesting possible diplomatic engagement, both sides continue military operations with the risk of further escalation growing.
