Authorities say at least 30 universities impacted by US and Israeli strikes since the start of the war.

On Tuesday, Israel struck a major pharmaceutical factory in Tehran that is one of the country’s top producers of cancer drugs and anaesthetics, the Iranian government said. The facility belongs to Tofigh Daru Research and Engineering Company. It made drugs that are crucial for use in hospitals and operating rooms, officials said.

US and Israeli jets struck targets in Tehran, including Shahid Beheshti University and Mehrabad Airport, Iranian state media reported. The attacks are part of an escalating conflict, with previous strikes hitting health and research facilities.

Israel pounded Tehran with airstrikes Friday as Iranians marked Nowruz, or the Persian New Year, in the midst of a war that has sent shock waves through the global economy and risked drawing Iran’s Arab neighbors directly into the conflict.

Iran shooting down two American military aircraft marks an exceedingly rare assault for the U.S. that has not happened in more than 20 years and shows the Islamic Republic’s continued ability to hit back despite President Donald Trump asserting it has been “completely decimated.

The Israeli military said it carried out "wide-scale" strikes on Tehran on Wednesday, as Iranian state media reported blasts across the capital, with the conflict in West Asia now in its second month.

Attacks have appeared to intensify in the war in the Middle East including strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and an Iranian missile attack that wounded U.S. service members and damaged planes at a base in Saudi Arabia.

The central headquarters of the Iranian armed forces has issued a stark warning to the United States and its regional partners following recent threats made by President Donald Trump, state broadcaster Press TV reported.
