From CNBC, February 28:
- In Tehran, witnesses heard the blast. Iranian state television later reported on the explosion, without offering a cause.
- Sirens sounded across Israel at the same time.
- The Israeli military said that it had issued a “proactive alert to prepare the public for the possibility of missiles being launched toward the state of Israel.”
A U.S. official has confirmed that American forces attacked Iran, the Reuters news agency reported on Saturday.
Earlier, Israel launched a daylight attack Saturday on Iran’s capital, with a cloud of smoke rising from the city’s downtown, the Associated Press reported.
It wasn’t immediately clear what the target was. But the attack comes as the United States has assembled a vast fleet of fighter jets and warships in the region to try to pressure Iran into a deal over its nuclear program.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz described the attack as being done “to remove threats.” He did not immediately elaborate.
