Iranian media reported strikes targeting the IRGC Intelligence Directorate, as well as hits in central Tehran. The country has closed its airspace in response to the strikes.

An Israeli security official tells Reuters that the operation was planned for months and its timing was set several weeks ago.

Sources in the defense establishment stated one of the objectives of the strikes, named 'Shield of Judah,' will be to "remove threats to the Israeli home front, with an emphasis on missile launchers and unmanned aerial vehicle bases."

US President Donald Trump confirmed that the US participated in the strikes against Iran, telling the Iranian people, "When we are finished, take over your government, it will be yours to take."
