Explosions have been heard in Iran's capital in the early hours of Thursday after US President Donald Trump threatened to hit the country hard.
Details of the Explosions
Journalist Vahid Mirzaei reported on X: 'Another massive explosion in Tehran.' The explosions came just minutes after US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Central Command 'will be busy tonight' following Trump's threat.
US Military Response
CENTCOM forces began launching what it called 'additional self-defense strikes' against multiple targets in Iran at the direction of Trump. 'The strikes are in response to Iran's unwarranted and continued aggression,' the CENTCOM post on X continued.
Trump, just hours earlier at an Oval Office event, said, 'We're going to be attacking them, attacking them very hard.'
Explosions were also heard in Fars city, and air defence systems were activated outside the city.
