Israel has conducted significant air strikes against Iran, focusing on military and nuclear installations, leading to the deaths of key Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists. This aggressive move comes amid escalating tensions over Iran's advancing nuclear program. In response, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has vowed severe retaliation against Israel. The situation further escalated as Israeli military announced interceptions of Iranian drones initiated in retaliation, indicating that the conflict between the two nations is intensifying with potential for further military actions.
The strikes early on Friday come amid simmering tensions over Iran's nuclear programme and appeared certain to trigger a reprisal.
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned that severe punishment would be directed at Israel.
An Israeli official said the interceptions were taking place outside Israeli territory but did not elaborate.
Israel has carried out a series of air strikes on Iran, targeting military facilities, nuclear sites and residential areas of the capital, Tehran.
