JERUSALEM, June 14, 2025 (AFP) - The Israeli military said Saturday its air force targeted Iran's air defences with a wave of strikes in the Tehran area overnight.

"Overnight, the IAF struck dozens of targets, including surface-to-air missile infrastructure, as part of the effort to damage the Iranian regime's aerial defence capabilities in the area of Tehran," the military said in a statement.

"For the first time since the beginning of the war, over 1,500 kms from Israeli territory, the IAF (Israeli military) struck defence arrays in the area of Tehran."
