War in the Middle East
On Saturday, February 28, Israel launched a preemptive strike on Iran to eliminate security threats. A state of emergency was declared in the country due to the threat of retaliatory strikes.
It is known that this attack on Iran is a joint operation by Israel and the United States.
US leader Donald Trump has already confirmed that the US has launched a military campaign in Iran to eliminate threats from the current regime. According to him, the main goal of the operation is to protect the American people and allies.
In response, Iran launched missiles toward Israeli territory. In addition, Tehran struck US military facilities in Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, and Kuwait.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the public amid the mutual strikes between Iran and Israel, calling for restraint in the coming days.
