The Israeli and American armed forces launched a series of strikes against Iran on the morning of Saturday, February 28, bombing numerous sites in the cities of Tehran, Isfahan and Tabriz.

“The State of Israel has launched a preemptive strike against Iran to eliminate the threats facing the State of Israel,” the Israeli Defense Ministry stated as alarms sound across the country, urging residents to head for shelters.

“Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people,” said US President Donald Trump, announcing “major combat operations.” “We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally, again, obliterated. We’re going to annihilate their navy,” Trump added, implying that recent US-Iran negotiations, which had been ongoing for several weeks, had failed.

“Citizens of Israel, a short time ago, Israel and the United States embarked on an operation to remove the existential threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump added, “For 47 years, the Iranian regime has chanted ‘Death to America’ and waged an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder, targeting the United States, our troops and innocent people in many, many countries.”
