Tehran Ablaze: Israel Launches Nighttime Firestorm on Iranian Capital

The Middle East war has entered its 31st day, with escalating conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran. US and Israeli forces launched intense airstrikes on Iran, targeting key infrastructure including power plants and multiple locations in Tehran. These attacks caused massive destruction, fires, and temporary blackouts across Tehran, Karaj, and Alborz province, though electricity has mostly been restored. In retaliation, Iran carried out strikes on US bases in the region and launched missiles toward Dubai. However, Dubai’s air defense systems successfully intercepted the missile, preventing major damage. Iran has continued warning Gulf countries, signaling a possible expansion of the conflict. The situation in Tehran remains tense, with visuals showing explosions, flames, and thick smoke rising across the city after heavy bombardment. The targeting of energy infrastructure highlights a strategic shift aimed at weakening Iran’s internal systems. Despite partial recovery in power supply, continuous attacks from both sides indicate that the war is intensifying, with no immediate signs of de-escalation.
