Israel strikes Iran nuclear sites and military leadership as Middle East braces for retaliationšŸ’„

Israel attacks Iran: Israel has launched unprecedented strikes on Iran, targeting its nuclear program and military leaders in an attack that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said will last many days. Israel’s military said it used 200 fighter jets, and in retaliation, Iran launched over 100 drones toward Israeli territory.

• Trump warns Iran: President Donald Trump told CNN that the US ā€œof courseā€ supports Israel in its actions. Trump warned Iran earlier today to agree to a nuclear deal ā€œbefore there is nothing left,ā€ suggesting Israel’s next attacks on the country could be ā€œeven more brutal.ā€

• Military leaders killed: Gen. Hossein Salami, the commander-in-chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and one of the country’s most powerful figures, was killed in the attack. Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, Iran’s highest-ranking military officer, was also killed. Iran’s foreign minister warned that Israel will ā€œdeeply regretā€ its attack, urging the UN Security Council to hold an urgent meeting.

• Nuclear targets: Netanyahu said ā€œOperation Rising Lionā€ struck Iran’s main enrichment facility in Natanz, nuclear scientists, and what he called ā€œthe heart of Iran’s ballistic missiles program.ā€
