The Israeli Air Force has completed a series of strikes in western Iran, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.
According to the Israeli military, the attack involved 20 fighter jets, which carried out precision strikes on Iran’s missile infrastructure facilities.
Iranian service members and trucks delivering missiles to launch sites were also hit, the IDF added.
A closure of the Strait of Hormuz would be a justified measure in response to a potential US move to join the conflict with Iran on Israel’s side, Iranian parliament member Ali Yazdihah said.
"If the criminal enemy, led by the United States, wants to enter the war against our country on the side of the Zionists, then the Islamic Republic of Iran certainly has a legal right to disrupt the smooth flow of oil trade between the Americans and Western countries in order to put pressure on them," he told the Mehr news agency.
According to the lawmaker, "Iran allows free navigation in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz as long as its vital interests are not at risk."
