A statement from Netanyahu’s office said that since late Thursday he had held calls with the leaders of Germany, India and France, and is expected to speak later with US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Israel’s long-running shadow war with Iran erupted into open conflict on Frida, as a massive and coordinated Israeli airstrike targeted key nuclear and military sites deep inside Iranian territory.
The attack killed several of Iran’s top military commanders, pushing the already volatile region to the brink of a broader war.
Explosions were reported in Tehran and across multiple Iranian cities. Israel confirmed it had struck nuclear and missile sites, including the Natanz enrichment facility, and claimed responsibility for the deaths of three of Iran’s most senior military leaders: Gen Mohammad Bagheri, head of Iran’s armed forces; Gen. Hossein Salami, commander of the Revolutionary Guard; and Gen Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who led the Guard’s ballistic missile program. Two top nuclear scientists were also killed.
“It could produce a nuclear weapon within a very short time,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned in a video, defending the strikes as a preemptive move to prevent Iran from going nuclear.
An Israeli military official said airstrikes were still ongoing Friday afternoon but declined to specify further targets.
