·Tehran / Shiraz / Ahvaz, Iran

The Israeli military launched a wide-scale wave of strikes across three Iranian cities: Tehran and Shiraz targeted for weapons production and storage facilities; Ahvaz targeted for an IRGC command center. Evacuation warnings were issued for parts of Tehran and Qazvin. Loud explosions shook Tehran residential areas. IDF declared the wave complete at approximately 08:44 CET (07:44 UTC).

The Israeli Defense Forces announced completion of a wide-scale wave of strikes targeting three Iranian cities simultaneously on Day 14. In Tehran and Shiraz, the targets were described as facilities used for the production and storage of Iranian weapons. In Ahvaz — the capital of Khuzestan province and an IRGC operational hub — the strike targeted a command center of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Prior to the strikes, the IDF issued forced evacuation warnings for residential and commercial areas near the targeted zones in Tehran and for Qazvin (144km northwest of Tehran). Powerful explosions shook buildings across Tehran and were heard across the city. The wave represents a geographic expansion of IDF targeting into Ahvaz — bringing total Iranian cities struck to five (Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, Ahvaz, Kerman). The Guardian and France 24 confirmed IDF's announcement of completion by 08:44 CET.
