Tehran and Israel are locked in a dramatic escalation, with both sides unleashing waves of missile and drone strikes that have left scores dead and major cities reeling.
On June 15, Iran opened bomb shelters nationwide—including metro stations and public buildings—amid fears of further Israeli attacks, while also imposing widespread internet blackouts that hampered emergency communications.
