Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 0 tied to no party.
Israel struck what its military called 'strategic defence systems' and military targets in western and central Iran early on 8 June, despite a reported request for restraint from President Trump. IRNA reported explosions in Tehran, Isfahan and Tabriz, and Fars said the Karun Petrochemical Company in Mahshahr was hit; the Israeli army confirmed the Mahshahr strike and workers were evacuated. Iranian state television said on 9 June that at least two members of an air defence unit were killed, the first deaths Iran acknowledged from the strikes; Iranian media reported no casualties at Mahshahr.
