Israel's Attack on Iran—Everything We Know

Israel has carried out a retaliatory military operation against Iran amid growing tensions in the Middle East that threaten to push the region into wider conflict.

Iran used air defence batteries to respond on several locations after reports of three explosions close to a military airbase near the city of Isfahan, Tehran state media said early Friday.

U.S. officials have confirmed the strike, adding that President Joe Biden had been forewarned earlier on Thursday that the attack would come within the next 48 hours.

Israel assured the US that Iranian nuclear facilities would not be targeted, CNN reported.

It comes after Iran's retaliatory strike on Israel over the weekend where Tehran send some 300 drones and missiles in response to the killing of several Islamic Revolutionary Guard Commanders at an Iranian consulate in Syria.

Israel has not commented on the attack but vowed to take responsive action earlier this week.
