US President Donald Trump convened an emergency meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers in connection with the start of Israel's air campaign against Iran's nuclear program. About it reports CNN with reference to its own sources in the administration.
At the same time, according to Times of Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyhah also convened a meeting of the safety office against the backdrop of active fighting that began today.
Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz, together with the command of the Israeli Defense Army (Tsakhal), announced a state of emergency in the country. This step, according to them, is associated with the preventive nature of impact on Iranian nuclear objects, as well as the risk of a possible response from Iran.
Despite the close allied relations between the US and Israel, two American officials in a comment for Reuters emphasized that the United States did not participate in the attack made by Israel.
The international community monitors the development of events, as the conflict has the potential for rapid escalation in the Middle East and can affect global security.
