The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Sunday night that its air force targeted military sites in western and central Iran. This action followed a missile attack launched by Iran towards Israel earlier that day. The announcement came after U.S. President Donald Trump advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from retaliating against Iran's missile strike and to allow more time for diplomatic efforts. Iranian state media reported explosions in Tehran and other cities, and Iran subsequently closed its airspace around a major airfield. The missile attack from Iran was noted as the first direct assault on Israel since a ceasefire was established in early April, with an Israeli military spokesperson stating that the Iranian regime had made a significant error.
