TEHRAN – Iran has initiated a military response against Israel, launching missile and drone attacks on Israeli targets in the occupied territories less than two hours after the regime, together with the United States, conducted airstrikes on Tehran and other Iranian cities Saturday morning.
The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) stated they will share further updates. Explosions have been reported in Tel Aviv, with air raid sirens activated across the occupied territories.
Both the U.S. and Israel have confirmed the attacks on Iran. Israel’s war minister described the attacks as “pre-emptive,” while U.S. President Donald Trump stated the U.S. initiated the conflict to “obliterate” Iran’s missile and nuclear programs. This marks the second time Washington has attacked Iran during diplomatic negotiations.
Iran is expected to pound Israel, U.S. bases in West Asia, as well as U.S. naval assets in the coming days. It may also try to close down the Hormuz Strait.
