BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 28. The United
States is launching air and sea strikes on Iranian facilities,
Trend
reports.
According to information, the operation aims to neutralize
elements of Iran’s security apparatus.
In the early hours of February 28, Israeli Defense Minister
Israel Katz announced that the Israeli army (IDF- Israel Defense
Forces) had carried out a preemptive strike against Iran, prompting
the country to declare a state of emergency.
Iranian media reported multiple explosions in Tehran, including
in University Street and the Jomhuri district, as part of the
escalating attacks.
The escalation follows the 3rd round of nuclear talks between
Iran and the United States in Geneva on February 26. Held under the
administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, the negotiations
were seen as a last opportunity for a diplomatic resolution.
However, no agreements were reached, as Tehran refused to halt
uranium enrichment, dismantle its nuclear facilities, or accept
indefinite restrictions on its nuclear program. Israel launched its
airstrikes shortly afterward, with Katz emphasizing that the
operations were preemptive.
