Explosions have been reported in Tehran after Israel confirmed it had launched strikes against Iran, with US officials later saying American forces are also participating in the operation.
Israel has carried out a daylight attack on Iran’s capital on Saturday, with smoke seen rising over parts of the city, including near central districts. Israel’s defence minister confirmed that Israeli forces had attacked Iran.
In a subsequent development, a US official told American media that US military strikes on Iran are underway, indicating direct American involvement in the operation. The report was carried by multiple outlets, including the Associated Press and The New York Times, citing officials speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation.
Open-source accounts monitoring the region reported multiple explosions across Tehran, with video showing large plumes of smoke rising over the skyline. Iran’s state-affiliated Fars news agency said several new explosions were heard in the north and east of the capital.
Additional reports circulating online suggested a possible Tomahawk Land Attack Missile strike in northern Iraq, though this has not been officially confirmed.

Israel has reportedly closed its airspace to civilian flights following the strikes.
There has been no official confirmation from Iranian authorities on the extent of the damage or casualties. The situation remains fluid, with further updates expected shortly.
what is the grand plan after?
not to far away Pakistan has declared open war on Afghanistan
buckle up for more instability
That’s an easy question isn’t it? The answer is also easy,there isn’t any plan at all after Trump gets bored!
The obvious immediate goals would be to eliminate or severely reduce Iran’s ability to enrich Uranium and produce long range missiles of any kind.
Reduce its conventional military capability
Regime collapse (if possible at all) would be a bonus.
Lets see what the opposition do if the regime gets battered hard enough
The mullahs pet soldiers, the revolutionary guard are going to be the favoured target after all
Whether we want to be involved or not, the British aircraft carrier is a vital part of this mission. Given permission or otherwise, the US has gone ahead with this possible liberation of the Iranian people. Maybe the UK will get some tariff relief for its services?
Trump, pew, pew, pew. Netanyahu, pew, pew, pew. No stated endgame so roll out the body bags. Along with “regime change” deny China 20% of its oil.
JR Ewing would be loving this.
