The Israel Defense Forces confirmed a broad, coordinated joint operation with the United States targeting Iranian military capabilities, including ballistic missile infrastructure. IDF spokesperson Effie Defrin said the strikes were aimed at a “tangible threat,” while Donald Trump warned Iranian forces to stand down or face “certain death.” Benjamin Netanyahu called the operation necessary to remove an existential threat. In response, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced missile and drone attacks on Israel, as Tehran vowed it would never submit to foreign aggression. The escalation follows recent nuclear talks in Muscat and Geneva.
