Israel launched a large-scale attack on Iran, targeting the Ministry of Defense and nuclear facilities. This has sparked a major conflict with days of retaliatory missile and drone strikes from Iran. Over 224 Iranians and 24 Israelis have been killed. The Israeli operation, reportedly with tacit US approval, is expected to last weeks. Iran has fired hundreds of missiles and drones, hitting 30 Israeli sites. Significant damage has been confirmed at Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz and Isfahan, although the extent of the damage is disputed.
