"The United States and Israel have launched strikes on Iran despite ongoing talks between Washington and Tehran over Iran's nuclear programme. Iran responded to Saturday's attacks with missile and air strikes across the region, including in Israel, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Iraq."
"Israeli officials said their strikes targeted Iran's military and nuclear-related infrastructure, while airspace across Israel was closed and emergency measures imposed. Several other countries in the region also announced the closure of their airspace."
"President Donald Trump said Washington has begun a major combat operation in Iran, aimed at eliminating threats from the Iranian regime. This regime will soon learn that no one should challenge the strength and might of the United States Armed Forces, he said."
The United States and Israel conducted military strikes targeting Iran's military and nuclear-related infrastructure, marking the most significant escalation since June 2025. Iran responded with missile and air strikes across multiple regional locations including Israel, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, and Iraq. President Trump characterized the operation as a major combat initiative aimed at eliminating threats from the Iranian regime. These attacks occurred just two days after unsuccessful US-Iran nuclear negotiations in Geneva mediated by Oman. Regional airspace closures were implemented across multiple countries as a precautionary measure. The escalation represents a continuation of military tensions that began in June 2025 with Israeli strikes on Iranian facilities, followed by Iranian retaliation and subsequent US strikes on nuclear sites at Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan.
