Israel Launches Attack on Iran, Explosions Reported in Tehran
Israel has reportedly launched an attack on Iran, with explosions and smoke reported in the Tehran area, according to early reports. The development underscores growing regional tensions and raises concerns about a potential escalation of conflict in the Middle East.
Explosions were reported in several locations across Iran, including near a major airbase, though details remain limited. The nature and extent of the attack are still unfolding, and there has been no immediate official confirmation from either Israel or Iran regarding the strikes.
The attack comes amid heightened anxieties following a recent incident involving an alleged Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus. In response to that event, Iran had vowed retaliation.
Several countries have issued or updated travel advisories for Israel, citing potential risks. The Netherlands, for example, has strengthened its travel advice for Israel due to the escalating situation and the possibility of repercussions from the conflict.

Live reports indicate that the situation is ongoing, with further developments expected. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, and calls for de-escalation are likely to increase as more information becomes available. Further updates are available from de Volkskrant.
The attack on Iran represents a significant escalation in the long-running tensions between the two countries. Details of the initial reports can be found in De Telegraaf. NOS also reports on the attack. AD.nl is providing live updates.
