Israel is in a nationwide shutdown after it launched strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, with citizens warned to be prepared for a counterstrike.

On June 12, explosions were reported from Tehran, with Israel acknowledging that it launched what it described as a “pre-emptive strike” on the Persian state. Following the strike, which targeted nuclear sites after days of tensions over Iran’s nuclear program, Israel has declared a state of emergency nationwide.
