The Zionist occupation military confirmed early Friday the launch of a broad aerial offensive targeting Iran’s nuclear program, political and military staff and civilians.
In an official statement, the occupation military said it carried out a “precise, preemptive strike” in Iran, “with the goal of damaging Iran’s nuclear program.”
It named the operation “Rising Lion.”
There are reports of civilian casualties and extensive damage in the cities and in milfitary facilities.
Reports are beginning to confirm US collusion in the attack as was expected. The Iranian state announced it considers the US a party to the aggression and vowed an immediate response.
US regime leader Donald Trump stated, the US will “defend itself and ‘Israel'” if Iran retaliates. He also claimed that he was briefed in advance about the attacks.
The aggression is an attempt to launch a wider war to try to cripple Palestinian support, and anti-western resistance in the region.
The war is certainly going to escalate and potentially turn into a regional conflict.
