Reports indicate that ongoing military strikes against Iran have been coordinated with the United States, according to American officials cited by CNN.
Two U.S. officials told the broadcaster that the United States is currently carrying out strikes against Iran, with one official describing the operation as “not a small attack” and confirming that the strikes are still ongoing.
Earlier reports from international media suggested that the Israeli attack on Iran early Saturday was coordinated with Washington. Israel has described the operation as a “preventive strike”, signaling rising tensions in the region.
Following the launch of the strikes, Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz announced a “special state of emergency” across Israel, underscoring the seriousness of the situation and the expectation of possible escalation.
The developments come after U.S. President Donald Trump spent weeks warning that the United States could take action against Iran. His administration has cited concerns over Iran’s nuclear program and the government’s crackdown on domestic protests, which reportedly resulted in thousands of casualties.
The situation is being closely monitored internationally, as any direct military confrontation involving the United States, Israel, and Iran could significantly impact regional stability and global security dynamics.
