"President Donald Trump announced that the US was engaged in a major combat operation aimed at eliminating threats from the Iranian regime on Saturday morning, as missiles hit numerous areas in Tehran and across the country. Trump pledged to raze Iran's missile industry and destroy its navy, while urging the Iranian people to overthrow the government."
"Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused Israel and the US of violating the United Nations charter with their attacks and pledged a harsh response, as the country waged retaliatory attacks on Israel as well as in several Gulf states that host US military assets, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Kuwait."
"A senior Israeli defence official told the Reuters news agency the joint US-Israeli attacks had been planned for months, with a specific date set weeks ago. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed the attacks aimed to remove an existential threat posed by Iran."
Following joint US-Israeli military strikes across Iran, global leaders have issued urgent calls for de-escalation. President Trump announced major combat operations aimed at eliminating Iranian threats and pledged to destroy Iran's missile capabilities and navy. Israeli officials stated the attacks were months in planning and designed to address existential threats. Iran's government condemned the strikes as UN charter violations and launched retaliatory missile attacks against US military assets in Gulf states including Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Iran declared all American and Israeli assets in the Middle East legitimate targets. The international community, including the European Union, has urged maximum restraint amid escalating tensions.
