Israel / U.S. coordinating joint multi pronged attack against Iran. Israel declares state of emergency across country...

CNN along with the Associated Press are reporting that Israel's pre-emptive strike is in coordination with additional "massive" strikes by the United States, presumably with the dual intent of decapitating Iranian leadership and taking out Iranian offensive missile and air defense systems.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz described the attack as being done “to remove threats.” He did not immediately elaborate.

In Tehran, witnesses heard the blast. Iranian state television later reported on the explosion, without offering a cause.

Sirens sounded across Israel at the same time. The Israeli military said that it had issued a “proactive alert to prepare the public for the possibility of missiles being launched toward the state of Israel.”

The U.S. military declined to immediately comment on the attack.

An apparent strike in Iran’s capital Saturday happened near the offices of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

State television acknowledged an explosion in the area of the offices.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether the 86-year-old Khamenei had been in his offices at the time. He hasn’t been seen publicly in days as tensions with the United States have grown.
