The Israeli Air Force on Friday struck broadly against military positions, ballistic missile, attack drone capabilities, and air defenses across Iran.
The Begin Doctrine, created after Israel's strike against Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor in 1981, commits Israel to preventing any enemy state from obtaining nuclear weapons.
The IDF did not specify when they would reach Israel, but in April 2024, it took such drones several hours.
The IDF had not stopped attacking since the initial wave. Rather, as of 4:30 a.m., the IAF was still carrying out broad attacks, and there were no specific signs of stopping.
The company confirmed it is acting in accordance with instructions from the country's security and aviation authorities.
Three key factors made an Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities a viable option today, but what happens after the strike?
Dozens of Israeli aircraft participated in an initial wave of strikes on dozens of military targets and Iranian nuclear sites early on Friday morning.
Just after three in the morning, sirens sounded across Israel, and Israel’s Defense Minister announced a preemptive strike against Iran.
According to the IDF, Iran has enough uranium to weaponize it to nuclear levels to 15 nuclear weapons within days
"Whether and how Israel strikes will likely depend" on Jerusalem's views of US-Iran nuclear negotiations, CNN added.
