Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Israel and United States launched coordinated military strikes on Iran to eliminate what he described as an “existential threat” from Tehran’s government. The operation, reportedly named Operation Lion’s Roar, targets Iran’s military and strategic assets, with Netanyahu urging Iranian citizens to break free from tyranny and calling on Israelis to follow safety directives amid rising tensions. U.S. President Donald Trump backed the offensive as major combat operations aimed at dismantling Iran’s missile and nuclear capabilities. Explosions were reported in Tehran and regional instability is escalating rapidly.
