Massive Twin Blasts, Cars Hurled In The Air: Israeli Strikes In Busy Tehran Street
Last Updated: The purported CCTV footage, which is doing the rounds on social media, shows twin explosions in a busy city street with buildings and moving traffic on the roads Iranian media has released footage of an explosion, which it claimed was of two simultaneous Israeli strikes in Tehran. The CCTV footage, which could not be confirmed by News18, is doing the rounds on social media. The purported video shows twin explosions in a busy city street with buildings and moving traffic on the roads. It can be seen in the video that the explosions cause a number of cars with passengers inside to be hurled in the air as the video ends in a cloud of debris raining from the blast. Iranian media released CCTV footage showing the two simultaneous Israeli strikes in northern Tehran hitting a building sideways and on the road directly hitting civilian vehicles in is in Tajrish, District 1, north Tehran.📍 35.8049358, 51.4344565 — Qais Alamdar (@Qaisalamdar) July 3, 2025 The purported strikes on Tehran were reportedly part of the 12-day air assault conducted under Operation 'Rising Lion' by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) earlier this month. According to the Pentagon, the recent Israeli and American strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities have pushed back Tehran's atomic ambitions by up to two years. 'We have degraded their programme by one to two years at least," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said. 'We're thinking probably closer to two years." The Israeli operation, which involved over 125 US aircraft — including B-2 stealth bombers, fighter jets, and aerial tankers — targeted Iran's nuclear infrastructure at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. In parallel, a US-guided missile submarine launched Tomahawk cruise missiles at a third facility. Israel launched preemptive strikes against Iranian nuclear sites on June 13, citing intelligence that Tehran had reached 'a point of no return" in its pursuit of nuclear weapons. According to Israeli defence officials, Iran has developed the capacity to rapidly enrich uranium and assemble nuclear bombs, with sufficient fissile material for up to 15 weapons. The strikes marked a dramatic escalation in what officials describe as a broader Iranian strategy combining nuclear development, missile proliferation, and proxy warfare aimed at Israel's destruction. A US-brokered ceasefire went into effect on June 24. Location : Tehran, Iran First Published:

US, Iran likely to hold first nuclear talks since joint strikes in Oslo next week: Report
White House envoy Steve Witkoff is planning to meet Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Oslo next week, according to a report, citing two sources read more The United States plans to hold talks with Iran about its nuclear programme in Oslo next week, Axios reported on Thursday, citing two unidentified sources. According to the report, White House envoy Steve Witkoff is planning to meet Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Oslo next week. While a final date has not been confirmed and neither government has publicly acknowledged the meeting, the sources said the planned discussions could mark the first direct contact between the US and Iran since President Donald Trump authorised a joint US-Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities last month. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We have no travel announcements at this time,' Axios quoted White House official as saying. Witkoff and Araghchi have reportedly maintained direct communication during and after the recent 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran, which ended under a US-brokered ceasefire. Mediation efforts have also involved officials from Oman and Qatar, Axios reported, citing sources said. Following the war, Iran initially resisted engagement with the US, but its stance appears to have softened in recent weeks. Israel's Channel 12 was the first to report on the potential meeting. According to the Axios report, central to any future negotiations will be Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which includes an estimated 400 kg enriched to 60%. The material is currently inaccessible, locked inside the Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan facilities damaged during the joint airstrikes, added the report, citing Israeli and US officials. Although Iran is presently unable to retrieve the stockpile due to extensive structural damage, officials warn it could be recovered once debris is cleared. Meanwhile, Iran announced this week that it has begun enforcing a new parliamentary law suspending all cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Araghchi posted on social media that while Iran remains committed to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and its Safeguards Agreement, future engagement with the IAEA will be directed through the Supreme National Security Council due to 'obvious safety and security reasons.'
