Israel Launches a "Preventive Strike" Against Iran, Explosions Occur in Tehran
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed that Israel launched a preventive strike against Iran and declared that the entire country of Israel immediately entered an emergency state.
According to preliminary reports, three explosions occurred in the center of Tehran, with several missiles hitting University Street and the Republic District.
On-site reports indicate that cruise missiles were used in the attack.
To prevent Iranian retaliation, Israel announced an emergency state and closed its airspace.
The Israeli government urged civilians to seek shelter in air raid shelters.
The Israeli military staff did not rule out the possibility of a second wave of strikes against Iran.
It is worth noting that the day before, US President Donald Trump had stated that it was still uncertain whether military action would be taken against Iran and announced the opening of a new round of negotiations on Friday, February 28.
Previously reported, Tehran had agreed to abandon its entire stockpile of enriched uranium - a core requirement proposed by Washington to reach an agreement on limiting Iran's nuclear program.
