The first strikes of the attack appeared to target the compound home to Iran’s 86-year-old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali #Khamenei in downtown Tehran. It wasn’t immediately clear if he was there at the time. Smoke could be seen rising from the Iranian capital.

#Iran responded as it had been threatening to do for months — first launching a wave of missiles & drones targeting #Israel. It followed with strikes targeting #US #military installations in #Bahrain, #Kuwait & #Qatar. The #UAE & #Iraq shut down their airspace.

#Trump indicated the #US was striking for reasons far beyond the #nuclear program, listing grievances stretching back to the beginning of the Islamic Republic following a revolution in 1979 that turned #Iran from one of America’s closest allies in the #MiddleEast into a fierce foe.

#Israel said the attack against #Iran was a “broad, coordinated, & joint operation against the regime” that had been planned for months between the Israeli & #US #military.

PM #Netanyahu said in a recorded message released Saturday morning that Israel plans the current operation to be “much more powerful” than the bruising 12-day war Israel launched against Iran in June.
