Israel launched attacks across several locations in Iran while discussions with the United States were still underway. Explosions were reported early Saturday morning in various parts of Tehran, with smoke visible over the city. A U.S. official confirmed that the strikes were carried out jointly by Israel and the United States. According to the Fars news agency, several missiles hit Tehran’s University Street and Jomhouri areas.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the purpose of the operation was to eliminate threats against Tel Aviv. In anticipation of possible retaliation, Israel imposed nationwide restrictions, suspending educational activities, gatherings, and other public events except for essential needs.
The report also mentioned related regional developments, including a fatal incident in Abu Dhabi caused by rocket debris and a statement from the United Arab Emirates asserting its right to retaliate for Iranian attacks. The situation indicates heightened regional tension following the strikes.
