US-Israeli Projectile Strikes Tehran Synagogue
Iran reports that a US-Israeli projectile struck a synagogue in Tehran on April 7, 2026 — a significant escalation targeting a civilian religious site inside the Iranian capital during ongoing US-Israeli military operations. The strike on a place of Jewish worship inside Iran is notable given the stated framing of the conflict and raises questions about targeting rationale. Iranian state media reported the incident; independent verification is pending. The event marks one of the first reported strikes on a civilian religious building within Tehran proper.
