Israel coordinates with the US to attack Iran

According to Washington's statement immediately after the attack, this military action was necessary "to force Iran to comply with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty".

Meanwhile, Israel “welcomed” the US decision to attack Iran, with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu expressing gratitude to President Trump for the attacks on nuclear facilities, saying that the US was “changing history”. According to him, only joint attacks by Israel and the US could force Iran to stop developing nuclear weapons.

Prime Minister Netanyahu called the strikes forceful, stressing that no country in the world , except the US, had the ability to do such a thing. He called Trump a “great friend” of Israel.

President Trump and I often say, "Peace is achieved through strength. First comes strength, then comes peace. And tonight, President Trump and America have acted with great strength," said the Israeli Prime Minister.

Israel knew about the planned US strikes on Iran; Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu spoke by phone the day before. After the US strikes, the Israeli prime minister addressed the nation, declaring that his promise to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities had been fulfilled.

“You remember that at the very beginning of the campaign, I promised you that Iran’s nuclear facilities would be destroyed one way or another. That promise has been kept,” Prime Minister Netanyahu added.

Doubts about US goals

Iranian sources commented on the attack carried out by US strategic bombers on Iran's nuclear facilities as even less powerful than the attacks by the Israeli Air Force.

According to the US news agency CNN, 6 B-2 stealth bombers, along with US Navy submarines, launched a series of cruise missiles and 13-ton GBU-57 bombs in an attack on Iran early this morning.

CNN reported that a GBU-57 bomb was dropped on the Fordow nuclear center. VOA reported that a Tomahawk cruise missile attack was carried out. US sources said that the US military used these missiles to destroy Iran's air defense systems, so that US aircraft could fly over these facilities without being hindered to drop bombs.

The US also attacked nuclear targets in Natanz and Isfahan.

Along with Trump, Secretary of State Rubio, Secretary of Defense Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, watched the attacks live from the White House.

In a statement on social media, Mehdi Mohammadi, strategic affairs advisor to the Iranian Parliament Speaker, said the Fordow nuclear facility had been evacuated before the US attack, so it did not suffer "irreparable" damage.

"The facility has been evacuated and there was no irreparable damage as a result of the attack," Mohammadi said, noting that "Knowledge cannot be bombed."

Meanwhile, the deputy political director of Iran's state television, Hassan Abedini, said that Iran had evacuated all materials from all three nuclear facilities in advance. "The Americans miscalculated," Abedini stressed.

Iran reserves the right to respond to the US

Iran has officially spoken out about the US attack on the republic's nuclear facilities, calling it a serious violation of international law that will have long-term consequences. Iran reserves the right to retaliate against the US after the attack on its nuclear facilities this morning, according to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

According to Mr. Araghchi, Iran has the right to retaliate against the US under the right of self-defense. A decision on this issue will be made in the near future.

“The United States, a permanent member of the Security Council, has blatantly violated the UN Charter, international law and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty by attacking Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities. The events this morning are unjustified and will have long-term consequences,” the head of Iran’s Foreign Ministry said.

Tehran also requested an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council over the US attack on Iranian territory. There is no information yet on the meeting time.

Meanwhile, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran is inspecting nuclear facilities in Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow; but no radioactive leaks have been recorded.

A member of the Islamic Consultative Assembly (Iranian parliament), Shiite cleric and preacher Hamid Rasai has called for attacks on US military bases in Saudi Arabia in response to US aggression in Iran. According to Rasai, "such a target must be attacked immediately, so that the US finally loses what they call national pride".
