“A missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future,” Katz wrote in a statement.
Reports in Iran said its missile defence system was activated.
US officials told CNN that they had not received advance warning of the raid, and no American aircraft were involved.
A few hours ago, President Trump posted on Truth Social that the US remained committed to a diplomatic resolution.
“My entire administration has been directed to negotiate with Iran. They could be a great country, but they first must completely give up hopes of obtaining a nuclear weapon,” he wrote.
