In a dramatic turn of events, Israel has launched a major airstrike on Iran early this morning under Operation "Rising Lion" 🦁✈️.
Targets included nuclear sites, missile facilities, and Revolutionary Guard bases — with massive explosions reported across Tehran, including near top commanders’ residences. 💣🏠
🗣️ Israeli PM Netanyahu called it a "preemptive defense" against an imminent nuclear threat.
In response, Iran closed its airspace 🛑 and activated missile defense systems 🚀 — raising fears of a wider regional war.
