Yes, the screen you're looking at is Tehran, Iran.The fire flashes in the night sky above the

building, and explosions can be heard from afar.

Reuters and the Associated Press reported that four additional explosions were heard in Tehran after Israel's first airstrike, citing local media.

The Jerusalem Post said Iran's southern Shiraz was also included in the second round of retaliatory attacks.

Iranian state television announced that the explosion sound immediately after the second airstrike was triggered by an air defense system against Israeli attacks.

Earlier, the Israeli military also made an official statement on the Iranian airstrikes.

[Daniel Hagari / Israeli military spokesman: In response to months of continuous attacks by the Iranian regime on Israel, Israeli defense forces are now carrying out precision strikes on Iranian military targets.]

The Associated Press said it was unclear what Iranian military facilities were attacked so far,

The U.S. CBS reports that Israeli attacks were limited to military facilities, not nuclear or oil facilities.

In the meantime, according to Iran's semi-official media, Iran is ready to respond to all Israeli aggression,

There is no doubt that Israel will respond proportionally to whatever measures it takes, he said.

What is the reaction of the US to this attack?

White House National Security Council spokesman Sean Sabbett said in a statement that he understood Israel had attacked military facilities in Iran in response to Iranian missile attacks and in self-defense.

It drew a line on the U.S. connection to this attack.

The U.S. is said to have been informed of the plan just before Israel launched its airstrikes on Iran.

CNN reported that President Joe Biden, who is currently staying at his home in Walmington, Delaway, has been briefed on the raid and is monitoring the situation, but will not convene a separate security meeting.

The U.S. and Israeli governments hope that Iran will take a military response but will remain limited, and hope that further retaliatory attacks will not continue, U.S. Internet media Axios reported.
