Explosions rocked Tehran early Saturday as Israel confirmed a 'preventive attack' against Iran, escalating tensions in the Middle East. Israeli Defense Minister announced the operation live on national TV, calling it 'a necessary defense measure' amid rising regional hostilities. 🚨
Israeli media reports suggest U.S. involvement in the coordinated strike, though Washington has yet to issue an official statement. Social media footage shows plumes of smoke rising near Tehran's outskirts, with local authorities urging residents to stay indoors.
Israel's airspace has been fully closed to civilian flights as of 6:00 AM local time, stranding travelers and disrupting global flight paths. ✈️ Regional airlines are rerouting flights away from Iranian and Iraqi airspace.
This marks the first direct military confrontation between Israel and Iran since 2024's cyberwar flare-up. Analysts warn the attack could destabilize energy markets and impact global security. 🔥 Follow @NewspaperAmigo for real-time updates.
