Israel launched an attack on Iran on Saturday, the country's defence minister said.
The initial attack happened near the offices of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Israel said, while witnesses in Iran told news agencies that further explosions had rocked the captial Tehran.
Israel's defence minister, Israel Katz, said a state of emergency had been declared across Israel.
Thick smoke rose from an explosion in downtown Tehran, Iran's capital after the attack. Iranian state television acknowledged the blast, without providing more details.
Sirens sounded across Israel at the same time.
The Israeli military said that the "proactive alert to prepare the public for the possibility of missiles being launched toward the state of Israel."
The Israeli military said that it had issued a “proactive alert to prepare the public for the possibility of missiles being launched toward the state of Israel.”
There were no reports of Washington involvement, but the US has been gathering a massive fleet of aircraft and warships in the region for several weeks. On Friday, the US urged its citizens to leave Israel as the threat of strikes grew.
Iran and the United States held hours of indirect negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear programme in Geneva this week, but walked away without a deal.
US president, Donald Trump, once again warned Iran against pursuing a nuclear weapons programme during his State of the Union address on Tuesday, referring to the US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites in June last year.
My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy - but one thing is certain. I will never allow the world’s number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon," the president said during his address.
Before the Genevan negotiations ended, Iranian state television reported that Tehran was determined to continue enriching uranium, rejected proposals to transfer it abroad and sought the lifting of international sanctions.
Iranians have been watching the buildup with growing concern, with many fearing the outbreak of a war could surpass Iran's bloody 1980s conflict with Iraq.
The nation is still reeling from its devastating 12-day war with Israel in June and last month's protests, which led to thousands of people being killed and arrested.
The US-based Human Rights Activist News Agency said 7,000 had died in the protests, although the true toll is likely to be much higher. Iran’s government said 3,117 people had been killed in its only death toll on January 21.

Strangely reminiscent of the Japanese negotiations with Washington that precipitated the attack on Pearl Harbor.
We concluded negotiations yesterday without an agreement and bombed them today.
Online and on TV sources are reporting that Israel "coordinated: the attack on Iran and that F22s may have been used since all of them were "secretly" moved to Israel last week along with half a dozen K-135s.
I try not to pay any attention to the unamerican asshole, but didn't trump just give the iranians 10 days to make a deal and then attack them on day 9?
The US is clearly involved....
Tomorrow's headline: "Trump complains yet again that he deserves the, "peace prize".
Trump is now saying the U.S. has launched a major strike on Iran. He is also warning that U.S. personnel could suffer casualties, indicating he is planning more than just a limited attack, including "annihilating their navy".
my first thought was that something big and epstein related is probably about to drop in the media ...
Bingo.
the official DOJ explanation will probably be that they can't release any pictures or videos with trump in them due to fear of breaking child porn distribution laws ...
The chief negotiator said he offered to JD Vance yesterday, several concessions to Trump personally;
A lower threshold of processed uranium, than the previous deal with Obama;
and a sweetheart deal for Mr. Trump on Iranian oil, natural gas and rare earths.
What could have possibly gone wrong?
I appears that the US/Israel strike targeted the government offices where the Ayatollah "works".
They missed.
The POTUS is now live on the air declaring in not so many words that we are once again, the world police and he is charge.
He promises to rid Iran of missiles and nuclear anything
while asking the Guard to surrender or face certain death.
Rambling, Rambling on. Keep them doggies rolling rawhide,
and God Bless.
Trump has NO Congressional authorization to go to war. He is engaging in an UNCONSTITUTIONAL action. NO EXCUSE.
like that's ever stopped him before ...
Iran is already firing missiles at Israel. Watching the news now and there are air raid sirens in Israel and loud explosions from the Iron Dome intercepts. That means my Israeli cousins will have to start going to the air raid shelters again. I do NOT like it.
I despise the Iranian regime and I want to see it gone, but I want our Constitution and laws respected. Trump does not.
like iran, the US and israel need a regime change also ...
Trump is such a fraud. Think of each missile launched by this peace prize seeker as funded by the loss of a healthcare subsidies for 100k US citizens. Kinetically killing abroad in tandem with methodically and slowly killing at home.
with the time difference between tehran and DC, it's dinner time in iran when trump is on his shitter rage tweeting ...
Trump's plan is to re-obliterate what he has already obliterated and it will be duh-loverly; so no more Epstein chitchats until the rubble has stopped bouncing.
This is why AI doesn't work right, or can be trusted - or we have to rewire ourselves to ask AI such a detailed question , that we must already know the answer.
Not being able to remember clearly, an old sitcom called Welcome back something, something.
I asked for a list of characters or actors named Epstein on TV, three different ways
and all I got was Trump/Epstein/redactions/ 3,000 mentions, thousands of hits.
AI isn't accurate, it's compiling everything that is most popular without regard to fact, opinion or legend.
What I was looking for was the name Juan Epstein of Welcome Back Kotter which 6 months ago would have been the first answer.
Now we have some Bible thumping super ego in charge of Defense/War blacklisting an AI company because they won't sell out their own morals to the Pentagon.
AI is terrific at crunching numbers and that's where it should be limited to.
