In the early hours of Monday, Iran launched a ballistic missile against Israel, which was intercepted by Israel’s defense forces (IDF)
The attack called Sirens in several cities in downtown Israel around 3 am, leading millions of people to take shelter in Bunkers.
There were no injuries, according to the Israeli army.
In addition, the Israel Air Force overthrew a drone that approached the city of Eilat in the south before it entered the country’s airspace.
These attacks came after the United States on Sunday morning, joining Israel in a military operation against Iran, reaching important nuclear facilities in the country.
So far, Iran’s missile attacks against Israel have killed 24 people and wounded thousands, according to health officials.
Some missiles that were not intercepted have reached residential buildings, a university and a hospital, causing major damage.
Trump suggests a change of regime in Iran#y#
On Sunday, US President Donald Trump used his social network, Truth Social, to talk about the possibility of a “change of regime” in Iran.
He wrote: “It is not politically correct to use the term” change of regime “, but if the current Iranian regime cannot make Iran big again, because there would be no change of regime “”? (Miga is an abbreviation of “Make Iran Great Again”, or “make Iran big again”).
This statement contradicts what other members of his government said the same day.
Vice President JD Vance said on TV that “we are not at war with Iran”, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the attacks “are not an action to change the regime”.
Trump also celebrated American attacks, saying that B-2 bombers have reached Iranian nuclear facilities such as Ford, Isfahan and Natanz, causing “monumental damage.” He stated that the greatest damage occurred in Ford, an underground installation, and used the term “obliteration” to describe the impact.
Iran threatens to retaliate#y#
Iran promised to retaliate US attacks, threatening to reach US bases in the Middle East.
Ali Akbar Velayati, advisor to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said any US -used base to attack Iran will be considered a “legitimate target” by the Iranian forces.
He stated that “the US has attacked the heart of the Islamic world and must expect irreparable consequences.”
The US, in turn, is preparing for a possible response from Iran.
The US State Department has ordered employees of its embassies in Iraq and Lebanon to leave these countries due to the unstable situation.
It also warned that the conflict with Iran increases the risk of attacks on US citizens inside and outside the US.
Flights were organized to evacuate Americans from Israel, but there are no similar plans for Iran.
Groups supported by Iran plan attacks#y#
According to The New York Times, US authorities have detected signs that Iran -supported groups in Iraq are preparing to attack US bases in the region.
So far, these groups have not acted, and Iraqi authorities are trying to avoid attacks.
The Government of Iraq has condemned attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, saying that military escalation is a “serious threat to peace and regional stability.”
Secret Cell Threats
NBC reported that days before US attacks, Iran warned Trump that it could activate “sleeping cells” to attack the US in response to actions against its nuclear program.
This message would have arrived at the president during the G7 summit in Canada, of which Trump left earlier.
A European diplomat told NBC that the US and its allies believe Iran has the ability to attack US and European citizens outside the Middle East.
Conflict Context
US attacks take place a week after the beginning of a major Israel operation against Iran, which began on June 13. Israel says the campaign is needed to prevent Iran, which has already declared to want to destroy the country, develop nuclear weapons.
The Israeli Operation targets military leaders, nuclear scientists, uranium enrichment facilities and the Iran’s ballistic missile program.
In retaliation, Iran launched over 500 ballistic missiles and about 1,000 drones against Israel.
