The Iranian Red Crescent Society reported that the United States and Israel carried out attacks in 20 of Iran’s 31 provinces on Saturday. The organization’s spokesperson, Mojtaba Khaledi, confirmed the scale of the assaults, describing them as widespread across the country.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that all facilities linked to the US and Israeli operations are now considered legitimate military targets by Iran’s armed forces. In a televised address, he said that any site used to launch or support attacks against Iran would be targeted in response. The statement underscores Tehran’s readiness to retaliate against what it views as direct aggression.

According to the report, the months-long shadow conflict between Iran and Israel has now escalated into open confrontation, marking a significant shift in regional tensions. The developments suggest a potential widening of hostilities if retaliatory actions proceed.
