Israeli military spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said on Sunday that the U.S. strikes on three sites in Iran early Sunday "were carried out in coordination with the IDF." "These actions mark a crucial step stopping the Iranian regime's aggression and its ability to pose a threat to the region and the world. The regime's ability to threaten Israel is being dismantled piece by piece," said Defrin. He also said that the Israeli military recovered the remains of three hostages held in the Gaza Strip, identiying them as Yonatan Samerano, 21; Ofra Keidar, 70; and Shay Levinson, 19. The U.S. military struck three sites in Iran early Sunday, inserting itself into Israel’s effort to destroy Iran's nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran’s threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict.
