Israel says it is conducting “precise strikes on military targets” in Iran — in a major escalation in the Middle East.
An attack on Iran has been anticipated since the Islamic nation launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles on Israel almost a month ago.
Today, Iranian state TV said “strong explosions” were heard around the capital Tehran, without specifying the cause of the blasts.
“Minutes ago, the sound of strong explosions were heard from around Tehran, the source of these sounds is not yet clear,” a state TV presenter said.
In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the country’s military, confirmed that it had begun to launch strikes against Iran.
