On February 28, Israel also struck a number of Iranian cities, including Tehran. Israel named its operation "Roar of the Lion." A state of emergency has been declared in the country due to the possibility of retaliatory attacks.
Trump stated that the bombings would continue until peace is established in the Middle East.
