In a major escalation, Israellaunched what it called "preemptive" strikes against Irantoday

Key Details of the Attack Targeting Tehran: Multiple explosions were reported across Tehran, with smoke seen rising from downtown areas including University Street and the Jomhouri district. One strike reportedly occurred near the office of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Joint Operation: Reports indicate the strikes were a coordinated effort involving both the Israeli Air Force and the United States Air Force.

Objectives: Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated the operation was intended to "remove threats to the State of Israel," specifically targeting Iran's missile capabilities and nuclear program following the expiration of a U.S. ultimatum.

State of Emergency: Israel has declared a nationwide state of emergency in anticipation of immediate retaliatory strikes. Sirens have been sounded throughout Israel, and citizens are instructed to stay near shelters.

Iranian Response: Iranian state media confirmed the blasts and the activation of air defense systems. There are reports that Khamenei has been moved to a secure location.

Immediate Impact Aviation: Israeli and Iranian airspace has been restricted or closed to civilian traffic.

Oil Markets: Global oil prices spiked by 5% in early trading following news of the strikes.

Regional Tensions: This follows the "12-Day War" in June 2025 and marks the most significant direct military confrontation in the region to date .

An upcoming speech by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Southern Targets: Intensive Israeli airstrikes targeted the outskirts of the towns of Kfarshouba, Halta, and الهبارية (Al-Habbariyeh).

• The Israeli Side: Sirens sounding in Kiryat Shmona, Metula, and settlements in the Galilee Finger in anticipation of a response from southern Lebanon.

• Military Alert: The Lebanese Army and UNIFIL forces are on maximum alert at all border posts, with the evacuation of some non-essential sites.

• Political Situation: Intensive international contacts (French-American) with the Lebanese government in an attempt to prevent Lebanon from fully engaging in the escalating confrontation between Iran and Israel.

The field situation is highly volatile and could expand at any moment.

Reports of intensive cyberattacks on Iranian infrastructure and government news agencies IRNA and Rokna have been hacked so far.

• Trump: A short time ago, the United States began major combat operations inside Iran.

• Trump: The goal of the military operation against Iran is to protect Americans.

• Trump: Iran is responsible for many attacks against American interests in the region.

• Trump: The Iranian regime is an evil group of cruel and bad people.

• Trump: Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon.

• Trump: The Iranian regime's threatening activities endanger the United States, our forces, our bases abroad, and our allies around the world.

• Trump: We will ensure that Iran's proxies no longer pose any danger in the region.

• Trump: We will destroy Iran's missiles.

• Trump: The message to Iran is clear: you will never obtain nuclear weapons
