Israeli forces target Iranian military sites and F-14 jets at Isfahan airport, escalating regional tensions after recent deadly clashes.

ISTANBUL: The Israeli army announced on Sunday that it had carried out a wave of airstrikes targeting military infrastructure belonging to the Iranian regime across Iran.

In a statement, the military said its forces specifically struck F-14 fighter jets located at Isfahan International Airport.

There had been no official comment from Iranian authorities on the reported attacks as of 0700 GMT.

Regional tensions have been severely heightened since a large-scale US and Israeli attack on Iran on Feb 28, which reportedly killed more than 1,000 people including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, over 150 schoolgirls, and senior military officials.

Iran has retaliated for that earlier attack with sweeping barrages targeting US bases, diplomatic facilities, and military personnel across the region as well as multiple Israeli cities.
