TEL AVIV: The US-Israeli attack on Iran began simultaneously from naval and land-based platforms. US warplanes took off from aircraft carriers in the Arabian Sea and off the Israeli coast.
US aircraft based in the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain also participated in the mission. Israeli warplanes and missiles were launched from bases inside Israel. The US mainly used powerful Tomahawk cruise missiles to destroy Iranian targets. These were launched from warships. The Tomahawk can fly at a speed of 880 km/h, without being detected by radar.
Israel reportedly used Blue Sparrow ballistic missiles and Spice guided bombs. At the same time, the UK confirmed that it had assisted the US in its defensive measures against Iran.
