TEHRAN, IRAN March 4, 2026 – Fresh explosions shook the Iranian capital of Tehran on Wednesday, according to breaking reports and video footage circulating on social media.
The account @BRICSinfo posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) captioned “JUST IN: 🇮🇷 Explosions in Tehran, Iran.” The 18-second clip shows bright flashes and blasts lighting up the night sky over the city, with plumes of smoke rising in the distance. The post, shared earlier today, has already amassed thousands of views and hundreds of reactions.
This latest incident is part of an ongoing series of US-Israeli airstrikes on Iranian targets that began several days ago. International outlets including BBC, Al Jazeera, Reuters, and WION confirm repeated explosions and strikes hitting military sites, police headquarters, and command centers across Tehran in recent days. Parts of the capital have been described as a “ghost town” amid the bombardment.
The conflict escalated sharply after reports that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the initial wave of strikes. Israeli and American forces have targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities, missile programs, and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) infrastructure in what some sources describe as a coordinated campaign.
Iranian officials have condemned the attacks and promised strong retaliation, with reports of Iranian missiles and drones already launched toward Israeli and regional targets. Casualty figures remain unconfirmed but are believed to be in the hundreds, according to local sources and the Iranian Red Crescent.
Residents in Tehran have shared accounts of panic, power outages, and heavy smoke filling the skies. The situation is developing rapidly, with fears of a wider regional war growing by the hour.
The video from the X post adds to the flood of real-time footage emerging from Iran, underscoring the intensity of the strikes on the ground.
Life News Agency will continue monitoring developments and provide updates as more verified information becomes available.
