It comes a short while after the Israeli military said Iran had launched missiles towards Israel.
The United States had previously warned of this imminent threat, indicating that Iran was preparing for a large-scale attack, potentially in retaliation for actions taken by Israel against Iranian interests and allies.
This event marks a critical point in the ongoing conflicts in the region, with potential for further escalation as international actors weigh their responses and next steps.
