Three people have been killed in Israel, according to officials and local media, with both sides saying the strikes will continue.

Sirens sounded in Israel as Iran launched dozens of ballistic missiles in retaliation for Israel's strikes on its nuclear facilities.

President Trump joked that Iranian officials killed in Israel's airstrike clearly did not die of an illness, warning that Iran should have heeded his warning.

Iran's foreign minister calls Israel's attacks on its nuclear programme a "declaration of war" as the IDF says it intercepted retaliatory drones launched by Tehran.

Israel released video of it striking Iranian ballistic missiles they say were aimed at its civilians. The strikes come after the Mossad carried out covert operations inside Iran.

"This confrontation will not end with last night's limited actions and Iran's strikes will continue, and this action will be very painful and regrettable for the aggressors," Fars reported, citing senior military officials.
