Israeli strikes have hit more than 100 major targets in Iran, including nuclear facilities and missile sites, and killed senior military commanders and scientists, in what Tehran said was a “declaration of war”.
As Israeli officials indicated the strikes were the first phase of a larger operation, Donald Trump described the attack as “excellent” and warned that further strikes would be more brutal unless Tehran agreed to back down over its nuclear programme, contradicting Washington’s official stance that the Israeli action was unilateral.
