STORYLINE:
Warning sirens were heard in Tel Aviv and Haifa on Saturday as Israel closed its airspace and declared a state of emergency after launching attacks on Iran's capital.

The Israeli military said that it had issued a “proactive alert to prepare the public for the possibility of missiles being launched toward the state of Israel.”

The first Israeli strike on Tehran landed near the offices of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Iranian media reported further attacks nationwide.

The United States was participating in the strikes, according to a U.S. official and a person familiar with the operation, who spoke on condition of anonymity to detail sensitive military operations.

It was not clear the full extent of the American involvement.

The White House declined to immediately comment.

It wasn't immediately clear if Iran would immediately strike back.
