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, five more people were killed and 12 injured due to Israeli strikes on the city of Tabriz.

UN Secretary—General Antonio Guterres, in turn, expressed concern about Israel's actions and recalled the obligation of UN Member states to act in accordance with the UN Charter and international law. The Russian Foreign Ministry said that Russia strongly condemns Israel's military action against Iran, committed in violation of the UN Charter.
