Around 2:00 AM tonight, six explosions were heard in Iran’s capital city, Tehran and Raj. Half an hour later, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that they were “accurately attacking military targets in Iran.” According to foreign reports, the Air Force attacked about 20 targets, including air defense systems, missile and UAV production facilities, and launch sites.
Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and Air Force Commander Tomer Bar ran the complex operation 3200 miles away. The attack included intelligence, dozens of fighter jets, including F-35s, refueling, and a rescue system.
Israeli source told NBC News that no nuclear or oil facilities were attacked. “We are harming things that have threatened us in the past or may threaten us in the future,” said the source.
Iran’s official news agency, Tasnim, reported that Iran reserves the right to respond to any Israeli aggression. However, Tehran has not issued a concrete threat as of now.
