Israel, with support from the U.S., conducted its largest ever military flyover, striking Iranian military targets across the country on Saturday. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said approximately 200 fighter jets targeted missile launchers, air defense systems, and other military infrastructure in western and central Iran. The IDF stated the operation aimed to degrade Iran's offensive capabilities and establish air superiority. President Trump described the joint operation as an effort to eliminate Iran's nuclear weapon threat. In response, Iran launched retaliatory strikes against U.S. bases in neighboring Gulf countries, drawing condemnation from several Arab nations. The strikes occurred shortly after explosions were reported in Tehran, including near the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
