U.S. and Israeli strikes continued across multiple cities in Iran, while Tehran responded with missile and drone attacks targeting Israel and U.S.-linked assets, according to Iranian media and official statements.

Explosions were reported in the town of Pishva, southeast of Tehran province, as the latest wave of strikes hit several locations across the country.

Iranian media said the strikes targeted a range of sites, including a petrochemical complex in Mahshahr, areas near the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, and military positions in Isfahan.

Targets in Isfahan reportedly included an ammunition depot, a ground forces base of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and tactical air bases. Other reported strikes hit military facilities in Sistan and Baluchestan province, missile launch platforms in mountainous areas north of Tehran, and a research institute linked to Shahid Beheshti University.

Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization said an area near the Bushehr nuclear facility was struck, killing a security guard and damaging a building. The International Atomic Energy Agency said it had no information indicating an increase in radiation levels following the incident.
Iranian media also reported strikes on a cement factory in southern Iran, though production was said to be ongoing.

Separately, damage was reported at a major petrochemical complex in Mahshahr, where production lines and power stations were hit. The complex plays a key role in Iran’s industrial sector, producing materials used in fuel, explosives and military manufacturing.

In response, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it targeted a vessel linked to Israel in the Strait of Hormuz using a drone, causing a fire onboard.

The IRGC also said it launched attacks on Israeli military-industrial sites in cities including Tel Aviv, Dimona, Beersheba and Ramat Gan, as part of what it described as a new phase of operations.
In central Israel, emergency services reported that one man was lightly injured after a missile struck the city of Bnei Brak, with authorities still assessing whether the damage was caused by a direct hit or debris from an intercepted missile.

The escalation marks a continued expansion of the conflict, with strikes targeting both military and industrial infrastructure and raising concerns over broader regional impact.
