It was unclear how extensive the Israeli strike against Iran was or whether nuclear facilities were targeted.
Israel said Thursday that it launched a “preemptive strike” against Iran, raising the specter of a broader regional conflict between the long-time Middle East adversaries.
In a statement, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared a “special state of emergency” in the country in anticipation of Iranian retaliation for the strike.
The targets and the extent of the attack were unclear. It had been expected that were Israel to attack Iran, it would target nuclear facilities at the heart of negotiations between the Iranian government and the Trump administration.
