According to The Times of Israel, Israel’s Channel 12 TV, and other media reports on February 28, citing anonymous sources, this U.S.-Israel joint operation had been planned for several months. The media also said that Israel chose to launch its first attack during the daytime to catch Iran off guard, because Iran would not expect an attack during the day. On the 28th, local time, explosions were heard in Tehran, the capital of Iran. Israel’s Defense Minister Katz said it had launched a “preemptive” strike against Iran. On the 28th, Al Jazeera reported, citing U.S. officials, that the United States and Israel have launched a joint military operation against Iran with the aim of destroying Iran’s security system.
