One step before the war: Israel attacked Iran

The targets were the country's nuclear facilities

Israel launched a preemptive strike on Iran and declared a state of emergency across the country earlier in the day. At least five people died as a result of the incident. In addition, two more people were killed and six injured due to Israeli strikes on the city of Tabriz.

In turn, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the purpose of the military operation was to attack Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
