Israeli Defense Minister announced the emergency of emergency and an immediate retaliation of Tehran is expected, where several explosions were heard
First there were several explosions in Tehran, where the windows and doors of the houses trembled. Then, on the other hand, the sirens began to play in Jerusalem and in other cities of Israel.
Minutes later, Israeli Defense Minister clarified what was going on: It was Israel’s “preventive attack” against Iran and the consequent preparation of the Hebrew state for an enemy response.
Israel Katz has announced that Israel is already in an emergency situation and expects an “immediate” response from Iran, admitting that this retaliation can come through a missile and drone attack.
Following what the defense minister said, Israel’s defense forces (IDF) announced a change in internal defense policy. “After an assessment it was decided that from 03:00 there will be an immediate change in defense policy,” was announced.
Among the measures to be implemented is the decision to change the mode of activity of all regions of the country, which applies to all activities, including school or work.
According to The New York Times, it was in a live broadcast on the Clubhouse application that it was possible to realize that there were explosions to happen. More than a thousand Iranians listened to a Diplomacy and United States discussion forum when the attacks began. Shortly thereafter, Iran’s state television confirmed this same scenario.
One of the participants of that same forum, Farhad Khorrami, who lives in Tehran, confirmed that several shins were seen in the sky and heard several explosions in the city.
Shortly thereafter, an Iranian official confirmed to the same newspaper that the city was being attacked, announcing that the Iran Air Force immediately highlighted its fighters, as the attack was made with Israeli planes.
Nuclear program, the target of Israel
Unsurprisingly, Israel’s particular target is nuclear production facilities. According to Reuters, which cites Israeli army guardians, “dozens” of locations have been attacked throughout Iran. The same source said that the Iranian regime “is moving forward with a secret program to build a nuclear weapon.”
“Iran has enough melting material to make 15 nuclear pumps on days,” the same source added.
The United States had already announced that an Israeli attack was imminent, but it was not thought to be so fast. It was therefore, moreover, that the Americans announced several movements in their embassies in the region, namely in Iraq.
This attack is part of a context where they will and the United States continue discussions regarding the Iranian nuclear program, with the Trump administration seeking to dissuade Teer will seek to reach a nuclear weapon.
