According to major foreign media outlets such as Reuters, explosions were heard throughout various parts of Tehran on March 2. This occurred at around 3 a.m. local time in Tehran. The Israeli military announced that it was launching a new large-scale assault targeting sites across Tehran on this day.


It was also reported that Israel came under external attack at the start of the morning on March 2. The Israeli military stated that multiple rockets were fired across the Lebanese border and that they had intercepted them.


There is speculation that this attack may have been carried out by Hezbollah forces backed by Iran. The United States declared that it would continue military operations against Iran for a considerable period.


President Donald Trump, in a video address released for the second time since the start of the offensive against Iran on March 1, vowed retaliation for the deaths of U.S. soldiers and stressed that military strikes against Iran would “continue until all objectives are achieved.”



President Trump also announced the death of Khamenei the previous day, stating, “Strong and precise bombings will continue without interruption throughout this week, or for as long as necessary to achieve the goal of peace in the Middle East and the world.”
