Israel carried out an early-morning attack on Iran on Saturday, as explosions rocked Tehran and raised fears of a wider regional conflict. An Israeli military spokesperson described the operation as a “pre-emptive strike against Iran to remove threats to the state of Israel.”

In response to the escalating tensions, Israel closed its airspace and declared a state of emergency, anticipating potential Iranian drone and missile retaliation. Sirens blared across Israeli cities at around 08:15 local time (06:15 GMT), alerting residents to the threat.
The strikes come amid ongoing diplomatic negotiations between US and Iranian officials aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear programme. Although Iran had made concessions during the talks, US President Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the progress, and has ordered the largest US military build-up in the Middle East since the 2003 Iraq invasion.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz confirmed the action was intended to neutralise threats against the country. The current strike follows last year’s Israeli attack on Iran, which triggered the 12-Day War, eventually drawing US military involvement against Iranian nuclear facilities.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly cited Iran’s ballistic missile programme as a key threat, while rejecting deals that do not address Iran’s regional proxy support. Iran, meanwhile, has vowed to respond with force, rejecting calls to limit its missile programme or end support for groups including Hamas, Hezbollah, militias in Iraq, and the Houthis, calling such demands a violation of its sovereignty.
The world watches closely as tensions escalate in the Middle East, with fears that the conflict could destabilise the region further and derail ongoing diplomatic efforts.
