Israel Strikes the Ministry of Intelligence in Tehran

The Israel Defense Forces have launched a preemptive strike on Tehran. Published footage shows an explosion in the area of the Ministry of Intelligence building.

According to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, the goal of the operation is to eliminate immediate threats to Israel’s national security, reports Clash Report.

In connection with the start of hostilities, the country’s military leadership predicts a large-scale response from Tehran.

It is expected that an Iranian attack using missiles and strike drones will begin in the near future.

Due to the threat of shelling, Katz has imposed a special state of emergency throughout the country. The minister called on citizens to strictly follow the instructions of the Home Front Command and remain in protected areas.
