Israel confirmed that had launched "precise strikes on military targets in Iran" early Saturday morning local time. The Israel Defense Forces said the strikes were in response to "months of continuous attacks" from Iran. On Oct. 1, Iran launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel. The initial strike targeted a barracks or office and a weapons depot near Tehran, two senior Arab officials told NBC News.

 

In response to months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel—right now the Israel Defense Forces is conducting precise strikes on military targets in Iran. The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since October 7th—on seven fronts—including direct attacks from Iranian soil. Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond. Our defensive and offensive capabilities are fully mobilized.  We will do whatever necessary to defend the State of Israel and the people of Israel.

 

Three United States defense officials tell NBC News that the U.S. was given a heads-up before Israel launched strikes tonight on Iran. The U.S. was not involved in the strikes, the officials said. 

An Israeli official told NBC News that Israel is not striking Iranian nuclear facilities or oil fields and is focusing on military targets. “We’re targeting things that might have threatened us in the past or could do in the future,” the official said.

 

A spokesperson for the U.S. National Security Council said it is aware of Israel's strikes against Iran. “We understand that Israel is conducting targeted strikes against military targets in Iran as an exercise of self-defense and in response to Iran’s ballistic missile attack against Israel on October 1st," spokesperson Sean Savett said in a statement. Savett referred inquiries about the strikes to the Israeli government.
