In a calculated and limited military response, the Israeli Air Force has targeted an Iranian radar installation located in northern Tehran, according to regional defense sources. The strike, which occurred late Tuesday, was reportedly aimed at a symbolic site rather than a strategic facility, signaling restraint amid ongoing ceasefire tensions.
Residents in Babolsar, a northern Iranian coastal city, reported hearing at least two loud explosions shortly after the radar was struck. Iranian officials have not yet issued an official response, but local media outlets have confirmed aerial activity and impact in the vicinity.
This comes just minutes after U.S. President Donald Trump made a public statement declaring, “ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing friendly ‘Plane Wave’ to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect!” The timing of the Israeli strike has raised questions about coordination between Washington and Tel Aviv, and whether the ceasefire agreement brokered by the U.S. has effectively collapsed.
