U.S. President Joe Biden expressed hope that Israeli strikes on Iran would be the conclusion, adding that it appears Israel has only targeted military objectives.
Earlier today, the Israeli Defense Forces announced the start of what they described as precise strikes on military targets in Iran, according to Reuters.
The U.S. Department of Defense, the Pentagon, confirmed awareness of reports of explosions in Iran and is working to verify them, while Israeli officials confirmed the military’s operations within Iran.
This escalation follows an earlier missile attack by Iran on October 1, marking the second direct Iranian assault on Israel in six months. The region remains tense as both sides exchange threats and military strikes, raising international concerns about the potential impact of this escalation on regional stability.
