The IDF is conducting precise strikes on military targets in Iran,”the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement. Israeli officials have clarified that these attacks are justified as measures of self-defence. IDF’s spokesperson Daniel Hagari also urged Israeli citizens to “remain alert and vigilant.”
The United States confirmed it was informed of the impending strike, although no US personnel or assets were involved in the operation.
Sean Savett, spokesperson for the White House National Security Council, termed Israel’s actions as “an exercise of self-defence and in response to Iran’s ballistic missile attack against Israel.”

The TV claimed that the blasts heard around Tehran were due to the”activation of the air defence system.” “The loud blasts heard around Tehran were related to the activation of the air defence system against the actions of Zionist regime which attacked three locations outside of Tehran city,” state TV reported
