"A short time ago the United States military began major combat operations in Iran. Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people. It's menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas and our allies throughout the world."
"We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground. To the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps: lay down your arms or you will face certain death. To the Iranian people: your hour of freedom is at hand when we are finished take over your government, it will be yours to take."
"As a result, a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future. A 48-hour state of emergency has been declared nationwide. The Israeli Defense Forces alerted the public to prepare for the possibility of missiles being launched toward Israel."
The United States and Israel initiated significant military operations against Iran following weeks of escalating regional tensions. President Trump announced major combat operations targeting Iran's nuclear ambitions and missile capabilities, stating the objective is defending American people and allies from imminent threats. Trump claimed the U.S. had repeatedly sought diplomatic solutions, which Iran rejected. Israel's Defense Minister characterized the operation as preemptive action against anticipated threats. Israel declared a 48-hour nationwide emergency, closed airspace to civilian flights, activated civil defense protocols, and sounded air raid sirens warning citizens to prepare for potential missile attacks. Regional military forces remain on high alert.
