Israel mentioned it launched a pre-emptive attack against Iran on Saturday (Feb 28), pushing the Center East right into a renewed army confrontation and additional dimming hopes for a diplomatic answer to Tehran’s long-running nuclear dispute with the West.
The New York Occasions, citing a US official, reported that US strikes on Iran had been underway. A supply informed Reuters that Iran’s supreme chief, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was not in Tehran and had been transferred to a safe location.
The assault, coming after Israel and Iran engaged in a 12-day air struggle in June, follows repeated US-Israeli warnings that they’d strike once more if Iran pressed forward with its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.
