"Operation Epic Fury" (US) and "Operation Roaring Lion" (Israel), the joint strike in Iran on Saturday is a rare convergence of interests, reportedly influenced by lobbying efforts from Israel and Saudi Arabia, the Washington Post reported.
Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) on Sunday said that amid its ongoing strikes in Iran, over 30 sites had been attacked, which include aerial defence systems, missile launchers, regime targets and military command centres.
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Saturday urged the Centre to take proactive measures to safeguard Indians in West Asia amid military strikes between US-Israel and Iran.
One rallying point for the Iranian people over the last few months of intensified protests has been the former crown prince Reza Pahlavi, who dubbed the strike a humanitarian intervention.
