Israel Strikes Iran

Israel says it launched a "preemptive strike” against Iranian nuclear sites and strategic individuals around 3:00 a.m. local time, with reports of explosions across Iran.

The attack comes amid growing tension over Iran’s nuclear program. Yesterday, a U.N. watchdog issued Iran its first censure in 20 years for not complying with its nuclear obligations. Israel claims that Iran has enough uranium to create 15 nuclear weapons “within days;” Iran has said their uranium enrichment is for civilian energy generation only. 

Iranian state media reported Hossein Salami, head of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard, was killed along with other senior leaders.

U.S. Secretary of State Rubio told Iran not to “target U.S. interests or personnel,” saying Uncle Sam was “not involved.” The U.S. began evacuating nonessential staff in the region earlier this week.
