U.S. and Israel launch strikes on Iran as explosions reported in Tehran

  • On Saturday, the State of Israel launched a pre-emptive attack against Iran, with Netanyahu and Trump confirming it was a joint operation.
  • After a 12-day air confrontation, tensions rose amid repeated US and Israeli warnings of retaliation if Iran advanced its nuclear and missile programmes, risking diplomatic talks renewed in February.
  • Sirens and advance mobile alerts sounded across Israel warning of possible incoming missiles, while two loud blasts and smoke appeared over Tehran, and Iran closed its airspace until further notice.
  • Defense Minister Israel Katz declared a special and immediate state of emergency, and Miri Regev ordered the Israel Civil Aviation Authority to close airspace to civilian flights, while the US embassy in Qatar issued a shelter-in-place order.
  • Regional analysts and diplomats will watch as the strikes risk dragging the region back into open conflict and further dim prospects for a diplomatic settlement of Iran's nuclear dispute.
