| | + | Israel launched a preemptive strike against Iran tonight (between Thursday and Friday). The opening strike included the bombing of a series of targets across Iran, including nuclear facilities, including sites where centrifuges are held, missile sites, and the assassination of senior Iranian military officials. Attacks have been reported in the country on several sites, and footage from there shows explosions and destruction. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement: "In recent months, Iran has carried out actions in the field of weapons that it has never carried out before." A security source told Channel 12: We have not launched an operation, but a war against Iran - it could take weeks. |
