The Israeli army says it carried out strikes on military targets in Iran in response to what it said were months of attacks by “Iran and its proxies” in the region.
Several explosions were reported around Tehran.
Iran’s military has confirmed that Israeli strikes on the country targeted military bases in Ilam, Khuzestan and Tehran provinces, causing “limited damage.” The statement from Iran’s armed forces was read aloud on state television.
Iran’s military claimed its air defences limited the damage inflicted by Israel’s strikes.
The state-run IRNA news agency has said Iranian air defences have “successfully shot down adversarial targets in the airspace around Tehran province.”
“We carried out targeted and precise attacks against military targets in Iran – and thwarted immediate threats to the State of Israel,” Israel’s military spokesperson Daniel Hagari said in a post on X.
Hagari said that if Iran carries out retaliatory strikes, Israel will be “obligated to respond.”
Iran has suspended all flights following Israel’s attack on the country.
“Flights on all routes have been cancelled until further notice,” the spokesperson of the Civil Aviation Organisation said, according to the official IRNA news agency.
The White House released a statement shortly after the attack began calling it “an exercise of self-defence” in response to Iran’s ballistic missile attack against Israel on 1 October.
