Live Updates: U.S. and Israel Strike Iran as Trump Calls for Overthrow of GovernmentHere’s the latest.
The United States and Israel attacked Iran on Saturday in a major assault that threatened a broader regional conflict, with President Trump vowing to devastate the country’s military, eliminate its nuclear program and bring about a change in its government.
Waves of large explosions shook the Iranian capital, Tehran, starting around 9 a.m. local time — 1 a.m. in Washington — and continued into the evening. Witnesses described chaos in the streets as people rushed to seek shelter, find loved ones or flee the city.
Israel’s military said it had, in part, targeted a gathering of senior Iranian officials in the opening strikes. Satellite imagery showed a plume of smoke and extensive damage at the high-security compound of Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader. The status of Iran’s leadership was not immediately known.
In retaliation, Iran fired waves of ballistic missiles at Israel, where the authorities reported only minor injuries, prompting booms as Israeli air defenses sought to repel them. The United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait — all of which host U.S. military bases — said they had come under attack, as did Jordan. Falling debris from an Iranian ballistic missile attack killed at least one person in the Emirates, according to its government.
The fighting effectively shut down shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the conduit for one-fifth of the world’s oil supply, according to shipping companies and Iran’s semiofficial Tasnim news agency, which was sure to send oil prices upward. The U.S. Maritime Administration advised ships to avoid the Persian Gulf, including the strait, and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said that the straits were unsafe for commercial traffic, Tasnim reported.
Mr. Trump, had threatened an attack for weeks, saying earlier that he was considering limited strikes to compel Iran to accept U.S. terms for a deal restricting its nuclear program. Instead, he launched a much more ambitious, potentially more perilous venture.
The president said in a video posted to Truth Social on Saturday that in addition to targeting Iran’s nuclear program, the United States would also “raze their missile industry to the ground,” “annihilate their navy” and enable the overthrow of the regime, arguing that Iran had refused to reach a deal that would have averted war.
U.S. strikes were carried out by attack planes from bases and aircraft carriers around the Middle East, with officials saying the initial focus was Iranian military assets. Israel’s military said it had struck about 500 targets across Iran, including ballistic missile sites and antiaircraft systems.
Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister, promised that Iran’s army “will teach aggressors the lesson they deserve.” He added that by attacking Iran, Mr. Trump was serving only the interests of Israel.
Analysts warned that the fighting could easily devolve into a protracted war with no clear exit. Many world leaders urged restraint, although Canada and Australia backed the American action.
Mr. Trump suggested that the conflict might end with Iranians rising up against their authoritarian government. “It will be yours to take,” Mr. Trump said, speaking to the Iranian public. “This will be probably your only chance for generations.”.....................
