Flightradar24, a real-time flight tracking service, in an X post, shared, “Flights clearing Iran and Iraq after airspace closures in both countries following strikes by Israel in Iran.”

“Preemptive, precise “ strikes:

“Today, Iran is closer than ever to obtaining a nuclear weapon. Weapons of mass destruction in the hands of the Iranian regime are an existential threat to the State of Israel and to the wider world. The State of Israel has no choice but to fulfill the obligation to act in defense of its citizens and will continue to do so everywhere it is required to do so, as we have done in the past,” the defence forces added.

In another X post, it claimed that “Chief of staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Commander of the IRGC and the Commander of Iran’s Emergency Command" were all "eliminated” during the strikes.

“These are three ruthless mass murderers with international blood on their hands. The world is a better place without them,” it added.
