Iran has retaliated after a joint US-Israel military operation, 'Operation Epic Fury,' targeted Tehran. The Iranian military fired missiles towards Israel, prompting nationwide alerts. Israel confirmed strikes near Ayatollah Khamenei’s office, while US President Donald Trump announced major combat operations in Iran.
The operation follows warnings from both countries regarding Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs. The Israeli Defense Minister stated the objective was to neutralize threats posed by Iran. Explosions were reported in Tehran, leading to the closure of airspace in both countries.
In response, Israel tightened security measures, suspending civil aviation and advising residents to avoid airports. The unfolding situation has also impacted international flights, with airlines canceling services and rerouting flights to avoid the region.
The conflict has escalated, with reports of air strikes in various locations and accusations from Iran's Foreign Ministry against the US and Israel. The situation remains dynamic, with ongoing updates on military and civilian targets, as well as disruptions in regional travel and trade.
