'This will be probably your only chance for generations': Trump tells Iranians to first take cover, then rise up | Fortune
"The U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Saturday in what President Donald Trump said was a massive operation to destroy the country's military capabilities and eliminate the threat of it creating a nuclear weapon. Iran's Foreign Ministry said it would defend its homeland and its Revolutionary Guard said it launched counterattacks, firing drones and missiles at Israel and strikes aimed at U.S. military installations in Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar."
"At least 57 people were reported killed and 45 others wounded at a girls' school in southern Iran in the Israeli-U.S. strikes, according to Iran's state-run IRNA news agency. Shrapnel from an Iranian missile attack on the capital of the United Arab Emirates killed one person, state media said."
"Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz described the attacks that took part across the country as being done 'to remove threats.' Iran's military, symbols of government and intelligence sites were targeted, according to an official briefed on the operation, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss nonpublic information."
The U.S. and Israel launched coordinated military operations against Iran on Saturday, with President Trump characterizing the action as a massive operation to destroy military capabilities and prevent nuclear weapons development. Iran's Revolutionary Guard responded by firing drones and missiles at Israel and U.S. military installations in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar. The strikes targeted Iranian military sites, government symbols, and intelligence facilities, including locations near Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's compound. At least 57 people were killed at a girls' school in southern Iran, while one person died from shrapnel in the United Arab Emirates. The escalation followed Trump's pressure on Tehran regarding nuclear program constraints and growing internal dissent within Iran.
