On Saturday, February 28, Iran initiated a missile launch targeting Israel. This followed several hours after the US and Israel carried out strikes on numerous Iranian urban centers.
The announcement was made by the Israel Defense Forces, as reported by Sky News.
The Israeli military communicated that it had identified rockets launched from Iranian territory toward Israel.
“Presently, the Israeli Air Force is engaged in intercepting hazards and taking action where deemed necessary to neutralize them. The defense is not absolute. It is of paramount importance that the populace adheres to the guidelines provided by the Rear Command,” stated the IDF.
Attack on Iran
On Saturday, February 28, Israel commenced an offensive against Iran. Blasts were registered in the capital city of Tehran, along with Qom, Khorramabad, and Isfahan. Information indicates that roughly 30 locations across the nation were targeted.
Concurrently, the Israeli government instituted a state of emergency in anticipation of potential Iranian counterattacks. Notably, the nation’s airspace was closed.
US President Donald Trump affirmed that the assault on Iran represented a collaborative undertaking between Israel and the US. He conveyed that the purpose of the bombardments was to depose the existing governing structure in the country. He underscored that Tehran’s actions pose a direct threat to “the United States, our forces, our installations overseas, and our allies globally.”
