US and Israel launch major military strikes against Iran, prompting global warnings

The United States and Israel carried out a significant joint military attack on Iran. Multiple headlines describe the strikes as underway or historic, with targets reported in Tehran.

World leaders and international bodies, including Russia and the European Union, warned the action could plunge the Middle East into a wider war. Turkey's President Erdogan said the region faces a 'ring of fire,' and the EU began withdrawing personnel. Donald Trump, who confirmed the US operation, called on Iranian citizens to 'take over your government' from the resort of Mar-a-Lago.
