The Israel Defense Forces said it completed strikes in southwestern Iran Saturday on “a military site containing missile launchers.”
Fighter jets “struck radar detection system sites used for detection and aerial intelligence gathering” as well as other military infrastructure, a statement said.
Meanwhile, the United States appeared to maneuver B-2 stealth bombers and refueling tankers in the Pacific ahead of President Donald Trump’s decision on taking action in the conflict with Iran.
House Democratic leader says Trump ‘misled’ the country
In response to the U.S. strikes, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Trump “misled the country about his intentions” and did not seek Congressional approval.
“Donald Trump promised to bring peace to the Middle East. He has failed to deliver on that promise,” Jeffries said in a statement. “The risk of war has now dramatically increased, and I pray for the safety of our troops in the region who have been put in harm’s way.”
