Israel and the US launch a preemptive strike against Iran
“The tree wants stillness, but the wind keeps blowing!” Israel and the US launch a preemptive strike against Iran; Tehran under attack With no units shut down, the Iranian Defense Forces (IDF) declared a nationwide state of emergency. People were encouraged to take shelter nearby as Iranian media reported bombing missions in central Tehran, within the presidential complex.
On Saturday morning, Israel and the US launched a preemptive strike against Iran, aiming to neutralize nearby threats to national security, leading to the declaration of a nationwide state of emergency. Following the military action, Israeli officials anticipated an immediate retaliatory attack with missiles and unmanned aircraft into Israeli territory and residential areas. Meanwhile, reports from Iran indicated several missiles fired at University Street and the Jomhouri area (a district in Tehran). Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz signed an order declaring a nationwide state of emergency.
Citizens were urged to closely follow instructions issued by the authorities and the Rear Command (the civil defense branch of the IDF) and to stay near protected areas. Air raid sirens sounded across the country, and the military sent preliminary warnings directly to mobile phones, instructing residents to stay in nearby shelters. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) clarified that this warning was a proactive measure to prepare residents for potential fire, noting that residents did not yet need to enter shelters.
Following a security assessment, defense officials implemented a major policy shift at 8 a.m., moving all areas nationwide from a full operational status to an essential operational status only. This change required the cancellation of all educational activities and public gatherings, and prohibited travel to workplaces outside of essential sectors. Citizens were advised to monitor official updates broadcast through the National Emergency Information Portal and military applications. Meanwhile – due to the rapidly evolving security situation – Israeli airspace has been completely closed until further notice.
