A senior Iranian official has confirmed that Iran notified both Russia and the United States in advance of its missile attack on Israel, including details about the size and timing of the attack. According to the official, the U.S. was alerted through diplomatic channels shortly before the attacks. This information was corroborated by multiple sources, including Reuters. However, conflicting reports emerged from Iran's UN mission, which stated that the U.S. was not informed prior to the attack and only received a warning afterward.
