Isfahan was struck overnight by a series of US-Israeli airstrikes, captured in a 1:45-minute video showing multiple explosions and flares illuminating the night sky over both urban and industrial areas. These strikes are part of the ongoing 2026 Iran war, which began with coordinated operations on February 28, targeting military-industrial sites such as steel plants and explosives production facilities. The goal of the campaign is to disrupt Iran’s weapons manufacturing capabilities and degrade its ability to project military power.

Iranian state media reports confirmed damage to two major steel mills in Isfahan, while satellite imagery from previous strike waves shows extensive destruction across infrastructure and industrial zones. Analysts note that these coordinated attacks indicate a systematic effort to target critical military-industrial assets while minimizing civilian casualties where possible. The urban-industrial setting, however, complicates strike planning and increases the risk of collateral damage.
