The Israeli military launched missile strikes against Iran, according to a senior U.S. military official who spoke to NPR on Thursday. There have also been reports of explosions in Iraq and Syria.
These strikes seem to be Israel’s response to an attack by Iran on Sunday, in which Tehran launched hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel. Most of these Iranian attacks were intercepted or resulted in minimal damage.
The senior U.S. military official, who requested anonymity, provided this information on Thursday. The situation remains tense as both sides continue to exchange military actions, raising concerns about potential escalation in the region.
