American Embassy staff were advised to leave in many parts of the Middle East a few days ago, and Israeli citizens were advised to limit their travel in the region.
OPERATION RISING LION
Israeli defence minister has announced a “special situation” and confirmed Israel had carried out an attack.
An explosion was reported by Iranian state media to the northeast of Tehran.
Witnesses reported plumes of smoke over Tehran. A previous Israeli attack had taken out Iran’s air defences, therefore the new attack paves the way for an attack on perceived nuclear sites and other strategic targets.
Israel declared a state of emergency across the entire country prior to the Iran attack.
Defence Minister Israel Katz said that all schools in the country would be closed on Friday.
