An airstrike has struck a key academic site in Tehran, with reports confirming that a building dedicated to information and communication technology at Sharif University of Technology was hit during the latest wave of attacks.
A professor at the university said the strike directly impacted the facility, disrupting operations and highlighting the growing reach of the conflict into civilian and educational spaces. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed.
The university campus had already been largely evacuated, with students leaving due to the ongoing war and classes shifting away from in-person learning. This meant the area was mostly empty at the time of the strike.
Officials and local sources say multiple sites across the capital were targeted, with explosions reported and infrastructure affected in several areas. The attack adds to a series of strikes hitting critical locations in recent days.
The incident underscores the widening scope of the conflict, as institutions traditionally seen as civilian and academic are increasingly being impacted.
As the situation continues to unfold, concerns are growing over the safety of non-military sites and the broader humanitarian impact of the escalating violence.
