What led up to this
On the night of June 13, Israel launched Operation codenamed Rising Lion, targeting Iranian military facilities, particularly those linked to its nuclear and missile programs.
In response, Iran carried out strikes on Israel. It remained unclear whether the United States would intervene or if US forces would target Iranian military infrastructure.
In addition, yesterday US President Trump declared that he would not allow Iran to get nuclear weapons, saying it would have catastrophic consequences for the world.
As for the final decision on whether the US military will join Israel's current strikes on Iran, Trump said the decision has not yet been made.
