Israel conducted retaliatory airstrikes on Iranian military targets in Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam provinces in an operation known as 'Operation Days of Repentance' after notifying the White House shortly before the attack, officials said. Prior to the strikes, Israel sent messages through a foreign mediator to Iran, warning against any retaliation and specifying which targets would be attacked. Iran reportedly conveyed that it would not respond to the strike. The White House was informed shortly before the operation, with President Joe Biden and his top aides having previously urged Israel to avoid actions that could escalate tensions or cause economic disruptions.
