Israeli Strikes Hit Tehran Infrastructure; Black Smoke Over Capital; Red Crescent Clinic Damaged

Israeli airstrikes continued targeting Tehran infrastructure on Day 18. Thick black smoke was reported rising over multiple districts in the capital. Iran's Mehr news agency reported Iranian forces engaging 'hostile targets in the skies' over Tehran throughout the day. An Iranian Red Crescent clinic and aid relief distribution post were damaged in the latest raids, which the ICRC condemned as a potential violation of the Geneva Conventions if clinics were confirmed protected sites. Iran accused Israel of deliberately targeting humanitarian infrastructure. The IDF maintains all targets are military in nature. Satellite imagery shows destruction in the Parand and Mehrabad districts.
