Israel has launched a wave of airstrikes targeting Iranian military and nuclear facilities, marking a major escalation in regional tensions. Isareli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated the operation would continue “as long as necessary”, according to Al Jazeera.

Iranian authorities have suspended all flights at Tehran's international airport, citing reports of damage to residential areas in the capital.

The US Secretary of State reaffirmed that the US was not involved in the strikes and cautioned Iran not to retaliate by targeting American bases. The incident occurred shortly after US President Donald Trump reaffirmed Washington's commitment to diplomacy with Iran, Al Jazeera reported.
