On March 1, Spiegel reported, citing sources, that Iran, in response to US and Israeli strikes, attacked military facilities in Iraq and Jordan housing Bundeswehr personnel.
The German section of a Jordanian air base housing the US Air Force was also hit during the attack, the report said on Monday, adding that the strike hit a building with German troops. However, no soldiers were injured, as they were all in shelters at the time of the attack, the report read.
On February 28, the United States and Israel launched strikes on targets in Iran, including in Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran responded by striking Israeli territory and US military facilities in the Middle East.
The US and Israel initially claimed their "preemptive" attack was necessary to counter the perceived threat coming from Iran’s nuclear program, but they soon made it clear that they want to see a change of power in Iran.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed on the first day of the military operation. The Islamic Republic declared 40 days of mourning.
Russian President Vladimir Putin described Khamenei’s assassination as a cynical violation of international law. The Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the US-Israeli operation and called for an immediate de-escalation and an end to hostilities.
