Iran attacked by Israel and US

Thick smoke was seen in the center of Tehran. These explosions were reported to occur in two places in Tehran and several other Iranian cities. 

Later on the day, the Israeli regime and the US president, Donald Trump, claimed responsivity for the attack.

Israel launched the attack against Muslim-majority Iran during the middle of Ramadan, the holy Muslim month of fasting observed from dawn to sunset.

The strike also came ahead of the Jewish holiday of Purim, which traditionally commemorates the salvation of Jews from annihilation in ancient Persia and which begins on Monday.
