In a major development on Day 24 of the war, large parts of Tehran were plunged into darkness last night as Israeli strikes under Operation Roaring Lion targeted key power infrastructure in the Iranian capital. Multiple explosions were reported near electricity generation and distribution facilities, causing widespread blackouts that affected millions of residents.

Israeli defense sources say the strikes were precise and aimed at degrading the Iranian regime’s ability to command and control its missile forces. “We are systematically dismantling their war machine,” a senior IDF official stated. “Operation Roaring Lion is achieving its objectives.”

Despite the heavy pressure, Iran continued launching missiles toward Israel, with several intercepted over central and northern regions. No major casualties were reported in Israel, thanks to the effectiveness of the Iron Dome and Arrow systems.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the nation, saying: “Tehran is paying the price for its aggression. We will continue to strike until Iran’s threat is neutralized. The people of Israel are strong and united.”

The Iranian regime, led by Mojtaba Khamenei, condemned the strikes as “barbaric” and vowed revenge. However, reports from inside Iran speak of growing public frustration with the regime’s inability to protect its citizens.

The war continues on multiple fronts. Israeli forces are maintaining pressure on Hezbollah in Lebanon, while U.S. allies in the Gulf remain on high alert following recent Iranian attempts to attack energy facilities.

Global oil prices remain elevated but stabilized slightly today as markets monitor the situation in the Strait of Hormuz.

As Operation Roaring Lion enters its fourth week, Israel remains resolute. The message from Jerusalem is clear: Israel will defend itself with full force and will not stop until its security is guaranteed.
