Fars learned about the disruption of Tel Aviv's infrastructure after the Iranian strikes

Iran's missile strikes have completely destabilized the situation in Tel Aviv - most citizens spend a significant part of the day in shelters, and air traffic to the city has been completely cut off. This was reported on June 17 by the Iranian Fars news agency in the Telegram channel.

"Iranian missiles have closed Tel Aviv. <...> Local sources in occupied Palestine reported that due to continuous drone operations and several daily rocket attacks, residents of the Israeli capital spend most of the day in shelters," the publication says.

According to the agency, the shelling led to the shutdown of airports, which made it impossible to leave by air. Under these conditions, diplomats, employees of foreign embassies and some citizens leave Tel Aviv by land across the Jordanian border or by sea towards Cyprus.

In addition, Fars claims that Israeli sources report damage to critical infrastructure facilities — an oil refinery and a power plant, resulting in fuel shortages and power outages in a number of areas.

Strike of the East: Israel does not set a framework for an operation in Iran

What will be the further reaction of Tehran and is it possible to return to diplomacy?

Earlier in the day, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a missile attack on the logistics center of the Israeli military intelligence, located at the Glilot base in the suburbs of Tel Aviv. It is reported that the strikes were aimed not only at the Glilot base, but also at the headquarters of the Israeli intelligence service Mossad in Herzliya.

On June 13, Israel attacked Iran and declared a state of emergency. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the purpose of the military operation is to strike at Iran's nuclear infrastructure. In response, Iran launched several waves of missile attacks.
