The Israeli military has said its strikes on Iran, in coordination with the United States, targeted dozens of military sites and followed months of joint planning between the allies, AFP reports.

“The strike targeted dozens of military targets and was carried out as part of a broad, coordinated, and joint operation against the regime,” the army said in a statement.

“In the months preceding the strike, close and joint planning was conducted between the IDF and the US military, enabling the execution of the broad strike in full synchronisation and coordination between the two militaries,” it added.
