A series of loud explosions are heard in central Israel as the military says it carried out intelligence-based strikes in Tehran.

Iranian media reported that Israel struck the South Pars Gas Field in what would be the first attack on an Iranian energy site.

The head of the United Nations atomic agency, Rafael Grossi, said Iran told the agency that Israel attacked the Fordow enrichment plant on Friday, meaning Israel struck the three core sites of Iran's nuclear program.

Israel’s defense minister has warned that “Tehran will burn” if Iran continues firing missiles. The two countries traded blows on Saturday, a day after Israel launched a blistering surprise attack on Iranian nuclear and military sites,

The Israeli attack, which comes amid an unprecedented exchange of strikes between Israel and Ansar Allah's Axis of Resistance coalition ally, Iran, was reported by a number of Israeli outlets as well as Saudi Arabia's Al-Hadath network.

Instead of Ukraine and Donald Trump's tariff war, the main subject of discussion for world leaders will be the Middle East.

Israel’s attack on Iran was long in the making – the result of years of meticulous planning by Israel and days of high-stakes talks between Tel Aviv and Washington, officials told CNN.

Israel has conducted roughly 150 strikes on Iran over two days, while Iranian forces have fired roughly 200 ballistic missiles at Israeli territory in addition to scores of drones, according to an Israeli military official.
