• Strikes on Iran: Israel launched strikes against Iran early Friday, targeting the nuclear program and its long-range missile capabilities, an Israeli military official said. “This is not a one-day attack,” an Israeli military source told CNN.
• Dozens of targets: The strikes were a “preemptive, precise, combined offensive” that included “dozens of targets” across Iran, the Israeli military official said.
• US position: There was no US involvement or US assistance in the strikes, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. “Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region,” he said in a statement.
