Iran and Israel have exchanged ballistic missiles and drone strikes in the latest escalation between the two longtime foes, continuing attacks as the international community hopes for the situation to de-escalate.

In its barrage of strikes on Saturday, the Israeli military reportedly targeted Iran's major energy facilities and Tehran’s expanding nuclear program.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed it had completed strikes on Iran’s Ministry of Defense headquarters, the “headquarters of the SPND nuclear project” and other targets, “which advanced the Iranian regime’s efforts to obtain a nuclear weapon and where the Iranian regime hid its nuclear archive.”
