DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel has issued a nationwide alert after Iran reportedly launched missiles in response to military actions by the

\n\n

U.S. and Israel targeting its facilities. This warning follows a coordinated attack by U.S. and Israeli forces on Iran, which occurred on Saturday and was aimed at locations associated with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

\n\n

Details of the Attack

The U.S. and Israel conducted an attack on Iran, with initial strikes reported near the offices of Ayatollah Khamenei in Tehran. Iranian media reported widespread explosions, and smoke was observed rising from various locations in the capital.\n
\n
\n

U.S. President's Statement

In a video statement, President Donald Trump announced the initiation of 'major combat operations in Iran,' asserting that the country has persistently advanced its nuclear capabilities and missile programs. He urged the Iranian populace to reclaim their government.\n
\n
\n

Potential Casualties and Military Movements

Trump acknowledged the likelihood of American casualties resulting from Iranian retaliation, noting that such occurrences are common in warfare. Meanwhile, the situation has escalated as the U.S. has mobilized a significant military presence in the region, including fighter jets and warships, aimed at pressuring Iran into negotiations regarding its nuclear ambitions.\n
\n
\n

Iran's Military Response

Iran has claimed it has not enriched uranium since June but has restricted international inspectors from accessing sites targeted during the recent military actions. Satellite imagery has indicated increased activity at these locations, suggesting efforts to recover materials.\n
\n
\nCurrently, Iran maintains a self-imposed limitation on its ballistic missile range, which extends to 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles), covering the entirety of the Middle East and parts of Eastern Europe. Although there is no public evidence indicating Iran's pursuit of intercontinental ballistic missiles, U.S. officials have criticized its space program as a potential pathway to such capabilities.\n
\n
\n

Impact on Civilian Infrastructure

In Tehran, roads leading to Khamenei's compound were closed as explosions were reported throughout the city. The Iraqi government has also closed its airspace in response to the heightened tensions.\n
\n
\nIsraeli military officials stated that their operations targeted various military and government installations in Iran. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz described the assault as necessary to eliminate threats, although he did not provide further details.\n
\n
\n

Public Safety Measures in Israel

As the conflict escalated, several hospitals in Israel activated emergency protocols, including relocating patients to underground facilities. Concurrently, sirens were activated throughout Israel, and the military issued alerts to prepare the public for potential missile attacks.\n
\n
\n

Continued Hostilities

Following the attacks, additional explosions were reported in Tehran. Iranian authorities have not disclosed casualty figures from the strikes. In response to the military operations, Iran has shut down its airspace and disrupted mobile phone services.\n
