According to official sources cited by Reuters, Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, is not in Tehran following an Israeli attack that took place Saturday morning. The attack, deemed preventive by Israel, was planned in coordination with Washington and had been anticipated for months. The columns of smoke observed near Khamenei's residence suggest an escalation of tensions, and this incident comes amid a 12-day air war between the two countries in June.
Israel has warned that it will continue to strike Iran if it continues its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Following the attack, sirens sounded in Israel, preparing the population for possible missile strikes. This escalation further complicates the prospects for a diplomatic solution in the nuclear dispute between Tehran and the West.
