Tehran Hit by Heavy Bombing on Day Seven of U.S.-Israel War on Iran

Intense air attacks have pounded Tehran and other Iranian cities on the seventh day of the U.S.-Israeli war on the country, amid warnings from United States Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that the bombardment was “about to surge dramatically”. 
  
Israel’s military said on Friday morning it had begun a new wave of strikes on Tehran, targeting “regime infrastructure” in a “new phase” of the war, while the U.S. said its B-2 bombers had dropped dozens of “penetrator” bombs on deeply buried ballistic missile launchers inside the country. 
 
Huge explosions pounded locations in the Iranian capital, including targets linked to the country’s military and political establishment, as well as residential areas and the vicinity of Tehran University, according to news reports and an Al Jazeera team on the ground. 
    
Several schools have been hit in Iran since the U.S.-Israel bombardment began, including on the first day of the war in Minab in the south that killed at least 165 schoolgirls and staff. 
  
Of the more than 1,300 people killed in the strikes on Iran so far, at least 181 are children, UNICEF said on Friday.
