Israel hits Iran’s Evin prison a day after US joins the war

Istanbul/Tel Aviv,23/1: Israel struck Evin prison in northern Tehran on Monday, a potent symbol of Iran’s governing system, in what Israel called its most intense bombing yet of the Iranian capital a day after the United States joined the war.

Iran repeated earlier threats to retaliate against the United States. But it had yet to so in a meaningful way more than 24 hours after US bombers dropped 30,000 pound bunker-busters on its underground nuclear sites.
