Live updates: Israel attacks Iran’s capital with explosions booming across Tehran

6 mins ago

Israel attacked Iran’s capital early Friday, with explosions booming across Tehran. The attack comes as tensions have reached new heights over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program.

Air-raid sirens preventatively rang out in Israel.

What to know:

Iran’s nuclear program: The Board of Governors at the International Atomic Energy Agency censured the nation for the first time in 20 years after it refused to work with inspectors. Iran immediately announced it would establish a third enrichment site in the country and swap out some centrifuges for more advanced ones.

How the US has responded: In recent days, the U.S. began pulling some diplomats from Iraq’s capital and offering voluntary evacuations for the families of U.S. troops in the wider Middle East.

What we don’t know yet: It isn’t immediately clear what has been hit, though smoke could be rising from Chitgar, a neighborhood in western Tehran.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — (AP) — Explosions rang out across Iran’s capital as Israel claimed it was attacking the country.

People in Tehran, Iran, awoke to the sound of the blast. State television acknowledged the blast.

Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz announced a “special situation” in Israel over Israel attacking Iran. He said schools would be closed in the country on Friday.

There was no immediate word on what was struck.

Benchmark Brent crude spiked on the attack, rising over 2%.

The White House did not have an immediate comment Thursday night.

As the explosions in Tehran started, President Donald Trump was on the lawn of the White House mingling with members of Congress. It was unclear if he had been informed but the president continued shaking hands and posing for pictures for several minutes.
