After Tehran, Tabriz and other cities in East Azerbaijan province experienced the highest number of attacks. Several bases and military sites were hit, including the Intelligence Department building of East Azerbaijan, the main building of the Special Police Unit for Civil Activities, and the Special Criminal Investigation Police Command center in Tabriz.

Furthermore, the airport in the city of Saravan in Sistan and Baluchestan province was attacked with several missiles.
Iran and Israel: “We will continue”
The Israeli military stated it will continue targeting Iran’s military facilities and infrastructure. However, since Monday, the scale of US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran’s security and military installations has decreased.
This comes as there is still no official stance regarding ending the war. Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, the equivalent to the joint operations command, and several other Iranian officials have stated they will continue their attacks on Israel and their targeting of US bases in the region.
Fatemeh Mohajerani, the Iranian government spokesperson, said on Tuesday that "any attempt at mediation must occur in a situation where the war has completely stopped and guarantees are provided that attacks on Iran will not be repeated."
At the same time as the decrease in attacks, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran announced that funeral ceremonies for the Chief of Staff, the Minister of Defense, the Commander of the IRGC, the Secretary of the Defense Council, and several other high-ranking Iranian military commanders will be held in Tehran on Wednesday.
These individuals were killed on the first day of the war, and their burial ceremonies had been delayed until now due to the US and Israeli bombardments.
30 people arrested on charges of spying
As US and Israeli attacks decreased, media outlets close to the IRGC reported that the arrest of individuals accused of collaborating with the US and Israel during the war had begun. According to these reports, suspects have been identified across all regions of Iran and detentions have commenced.
The Public Relations office of the Iranian intelligence ministry announced on Tuesday that they have arrested 30 people so far on charges of espionage and working for the US and Israel. According to the statement, at least four of them were arrested in Sanandaj in Kurdistan province.
Asghar Jahangir, the spokesperson for the Iranian Judiciary, stated that those who collaborated with the US and Israel will face severe punishment, potentially including the death penalty. He added that if the charges are proven against an individual, even if they are outside Iran, their property and assets within the country will be seized.
