US carrying out strikes against Iran: Media

The United States has started carrying out strikes on Iran, U.S. media reported Saturday, after Israel said it had attacked its long-standing regional adversary.

Multiple U.S. media outlets, citing American officials, reported that Washington had begun strikes on Iran in a joint operation with Israel, which said it had also carried out strikes and closed its airspace.

The Pentagon did not immediately respond to AFP's request for comment.
