US and Israel launch 'major' airstrikes on Iran as retaliatory strikes heard across Middle East
"Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime. He threatened 'certain death' to members of Islamic Revolutionary Guard, Iran's armed forces, unless they lay down their weapons. And he urged the Iranian people to back him. Mr Trump claimed Iran are developing long range missiles that are a danger to the US and others."
"The United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran on Saturday, targeting its leadership and plunging the Middle East into a new conflict that President Donald Trump said would end a security threat to the United States and give Iranians a chance to topple their rulers. The strikes put nearby oil-producing Gulf Arab countries on edge as fears of escalation in the region grew."
The United States and Israel conducted military strikes on Iran on Saturday, targeting Iranian leadership and escalating Middle East tensions. President Trump announced the operation, claiming it eliminates imminent threats from the Iranian regime and defends American security. Trump threatened consequences for Islamic Revolutionary Guard members and urged Iranian citizens to support the action, citing concerns about Iran's long-range missile development. Iran responded by launching missiles toward Israel. The strikes heightened regional instability, affecting Gulf Arab countries and prompting travel advisories and flight cancellations. One person was killed in Abu Dhabi as the UAE intercepted Iranian missiles.
