Israel Minister of National Defense Israel Katz said on the 28th that a preventive missile strike had been carried out against Iran, according to reports by the AP and Reuters.
As the attack on Tehran began that day, an explosion was reported near the office of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei.
However, Khamenei, who is 86 this year, was not in the office at the time.
Khamenei had not appeared in public in recent days as tensions with the United States escalated.
Israel has argued that Iran has been expanding its airstrike capabilities, including drones and missiles, and pushing to develop nuclear weapons, threatening Israel's security.
