Israel and US Launch Joint Military Operation Targeting Iran's Nuclear Sites

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a joint US-Israel military operation, Operation Lion's Roar, targeting Iran's nuclear and missile infrastructure to counter what he described as an existential threat. The Israel Defense Forces struck Revolutionary Guards and ballistic missile sites, coordinating closely with the US. Netanyahu called on Iranian citizens, including various ethnic groups, to unite and challenge their regime, framing the strikes as creating conditions for political change. Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett supported the operation as a chance for Iranian freedom. The conflict marks an escalation with ongoing strikes and heightened regional tensions.
