The U.S. and Israel coordinated a military attack on Iran, with initial strikes targeting locations near Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's offices. This action, announced via a video by President Donald Trump, marks the beginning of 'major combat operations' aimed at curtailing Iran's nuclear ambitions.
The conflict escalated further as Iran vowed retaliation, striking northern Israel, which promptly activated its air defense systems. No casualties have been reported so far, yet the situation remains tense. Trump's insistence on preventing Iran's nuclear development is echoed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who cited the need to eliminate the existential threat posed by Iran.
In Iran's capital, Tehran, sirens and explosions were heard as the country responded to the attacks. Amidst these developments, Iran shut down its airspace and communications, while heavily guarded roads to Khamenei's compound remained shut. The strikes are part of broader international tensions concerning nuclear proliferation and regional security.
