VIDEOS: Israel Attacks Iranian Nuclear Sites
Tehran also hit
Israel has preemptively attacked Iranian nuclear sites and Iran’s command and control.
Fox News reported that Iran’s top military commander has been killed.
Early reports of Iran sending military jets in response, but that is unconfirmed.
One of the videos from the attack which is circulating on X.
Here are several clips from X.
Fox News is reporting:
Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have launched a sweeping strike on Iran following months of attempted, and seemingly failed, nuclear negotiations between the Trump administration and Tehran, but according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the U.S. was not involved in the strikes.
"Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran," Rubio said in a statement Thursday night. "We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region.
"Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defense," he added.
When I worked with triple-amputee veteran Brian Kolfage building the privately funded border wall, he & Steve Bannon sent me around the world to film border walls and border defense systems for a documentary.
One place I visited was Israel.
Below is a rocket shelter on the side of a road in southern Israel near Gaza. I went inside with my guide, a former Israeli Secret Service agent. This is what Israelis who are driving on roads will hide in if there is a missile or rocket attack by Iran.
Fox News continued:
In remarks following the strike, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed, "We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working on the Iranian bomb, we also struck the heart of Iran's ballistic missile program.
According to an IDF spokesman the strike has been dubbed "Operation Rising Lion" and came after Jerusalem had collected "high-quality intel" that suggested "Iran is closer than ever to developing a nuke."
An IDF spokesman told reporters, "We have no choice but to act against these existential threats to the State of Israel."
Let’s hope this doesn’t escalate into a regional war or that our forces are attacked by Iran.
