The conflict between Israel and Iran is worsening. This latest crisis comes after Israel launched airstrikes against Iran on Friday. These destroyed Iranian military targets. They also killed senior military figures and nuclear scientists. Israel's prime minister said his country wanted to "thwart the Islamic regime's nuclear and ballistic missile threat". The International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran was in breach of its nuclear non-proliferation obligations.
Iran's capital Tehran was bombed for the first time since the Iran-Iraq War. Iran's leader said Israel started a war. He said Israel would pay a "heavy price" for its attacks. The Israeli military reported Iran fired fewer than 100 missiles. Israel's leader spoke to the Iranian people. He told them: "We are clearing the path for you to achieve your freedom. The regime…has never been weaker. This is your opportunity to stand up and let your voices be heard."
