The Israeli Air Force (IAF) says it has destroyed "dozens" of radars and surface-to-air missile launchers as part of the attacks on Iran's air defence systems in the west of the country. Calling it a "large-scale strike", the IAF says this forms part of ongoing operations to damage Iran's air defence systems and those of its proxies.

Looking ahead, the IDF warned that Iran’s damaged nuclear facilities could take months or even longer to repair.

As Iran strikes back at Israel after an unprecedented attack on Tehran’s nuclear operations, WSJ explains Iran’s military capabilities and strategy.

Experts suggest the U.S. has a strategic opportunity to leverage Iran's weakened position for a nuclear deal after Israel's targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites.

Israel's military has deployed troops nationwide as its conflict with Iran intensifies. In preparation for possible retaliatory actions from Iran or its allies, reservists across various units have been called up.

As tensions escalate, Iran has developed a range of calculated options to retaliate if attacked, raising the stakes for the entire region.

The strikes came after the Israeli military said it had carried out fresh strikes on Iran nuclear infrastructure sites.
