Israel has reportedly carried out a pre-emptive strike targeting sites in Iran, according to Israeli media outlet Channel 12. The attack comes amid heightened regional tensions, with Al Jazeera reporting loud explosions in Tehran shortly after the strike. Axios also confirmed that air raid sirens were heard across multiple locations in Israel.

Multiple sites in the capital had been hit in the attack, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said targeted both nuclear and military sites and officials leading Iran’s nuclear program and its ballistic missile arsenal.
