Breaking News: Israel Launches Preemptive Strikes on Iran’s Military and Nuclear Sites
The Israel military has launched a major operation dubbed “Nation of Lions,” targeting dozens of military targets, including nuclear sites in different areas of Iran.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the attack, declaring a special state of emergency inside Israel.
The Israel Air Force carried out the airstrikes, aiming to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel’s survival. According to Katz, the operation is a defining moment in the history of the State of Israel and the Jewish people. The IDF has expressed confidence in its preparedness for both defense and offense, emphasizing its commitment to defending itself.
Iranian media reported explosions in Tehran, as well as missile interceptions. Tehran has warned of immediate retaliation against Israeli targets, escalating fears of an all-out war between the two adversaries.
The attack comes after weeks of simmering tensions following the collapse of renewed negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program.
US President Donald Trump recently accused Tehran of “slow-walking” the negotiations, reiterating his objective of completely dismantling Iran’s nuclear program. The US has denied participation in the strikes or facilitating them, reducing the likelihood of Iranian attacks on US assets in the region .
