Iran launches missiles after US strikes nuclear sites

Deskripsi:

Israel has shut down schools and banned gatherings across the country, and American troops are bracing for counter‑attacks, as the world waits to see how Iran will respond to today’s US strikes. Iran has already launched missiles at Israel as its Tel Aviv citizens scramble to shelter with reports of some casualties. President Donald Trump said the US "successfully" carried out air strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, "obliterating" the Fordow facility as well as those in Natanz and Isfahan. After the attacks, Hossein Shariatmadari, a representative of Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said the Islamic republic was ready to respond. "Now it is our turn to, without wasting time, as a first step, fire missiles at the US naval fleet in Bahrain and at the same time close the Strait of Hormuz to American, British, German and French ships," he said in the Iranian Kayhan newspaper. Later, an official statement from the Iranian Foreign Minister warned "the United States has launched a dangerous war" and would be "fully responsible" for the "consequences".
