The Israeli military has carried out several strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities and military sites in and around the country’s capital, Tehran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
In a prerecorded video message posted early Friday morning, Netanyahu said the strikes were aimed at hurting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and ballistic missile factories.
An unnamed Israeli military official told the Reuters news agency that Israel struck “dozens” of nuclear and military targets early on Friday.
Iranian state-run news agency, Nour News, said several loud explosions have been reported in and around Iran’s capital. It added that Iran’s air defence system is on full alert, and all flights at Imam Khomeini international airport have been suspended.
