        "content": "<p>Moscow (ANTARA) - Israel\u2019s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told\nU.S. President Donald Trump that Israel is ready to strike Iran without\nAmerican involvement, The Washington Post reported on Sunday, March 8,\nciting several officials. However, Netanyahu was also reported to want\nTrump to authorize the military operation.<\/p>\n<p>According to the newspaper\u2019s report, in a telephone conversation at\nthe end of February, Netanyahu told Trump that Israel had information on\nthe location of Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his\ninner circle on February 28. After that, Trump decided to back the\nIsraeli operation.<\/p>\n<p>On February 28, the U.S. and Israel launched strikes against a number\nof targets in Iran, including in Tehran, causing damage and civilian\ncasualties. Iran then retaliated by attacking Israeli territory and U.S.\nmilitary facilities in the Middle East, as a form of self-defence.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. and Israel initially stated that the preventive strikes were\nnecessary to counter what they considered a threat stemming from Iran\u2019s\nnuclear programme. However, both later said they also wished to see a\nchange of regime in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was reportedly\nkilled on the first day of the military operation. Iran subsequently\ndeclared a 40-day period of mourning.<\/p>\n<p>Russian President Vladimir Putin described the killing of Khamenei as\na cynical violation of international law. The Russian Foreign Ministry\nalso condemned the U.S.- and Israeli operation and called for immediate\nde-escalation and an end to hostilities.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Sputnik\/RIA Novosti-OANA<\/p>",
