IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Efi Defrin issued a statement to the media, saying, "Air Force pilots continue to strike in an unceasing sequence. The focus of the strikes in the last 24 hours has been on Tehran, from where a murderous terror regime that threatens the entire Western world is managed." According to him, "We attacked two significant targets of the nuclear program. This is a strike against the existential threat that Iran tried to create against Israel. The Iranian regime wanted to launch hundreds of missiles in response to the preemptive strike we carried out, and as we have seen, they have capabilities that can cause extensive damage." He emphasized: "The attacks are not behind us, continue to remain calm."
