BREAKING: Israel Launches Massive Airstrikes on Iran Overnight

Israel carried out extensive preemptive airstrikes across Iran—reportedly targeting nuclear and military sites in Tehran and beyond. Explosions rocked multiple regions, prompting Tehran to declare air defenses on high alert and Israel to declare a “special situation” with nationwide measures including school closures.

U.S. President Trump acknowledged Israel’s right to act independently and convened a cabinet meeting, while insisting the U.S. had no direct involvement. Both nations now brace for an imminent Iranian missile and drone retaliation. The strikes mark a dramatic escalation in the Middle East, raising serious concerns about a wider regional conflict.
