Israel launches new wave of 'extensive strikes' on Iran
The US also says it has hit nearly 2,000 targets in Iran since the war began and sunk much of the Iranian navy.
Israel says it has launched a new wave of "extensive strikes" on Iranian infrastructure. Meanwhile the United States says it's struck nearly two thousand targets in Iran since the war broke out and has sunk much of the Iranian navy. President Trump told reporters at the White House that "everything's been knocked out in Iran". We speak to a diplomat with the Israeli foreign ministry.
As US-Israeli attacks continue, the United Nations nuclear watchdog says ‘no radiological consequence expected’ after entrances to underground nuclear site damaged. We speak to an Iranian nuclear specialist.
Meanwhile in Lebanon Israel continues to target what it describes as Iran-backed Hezbollah positions. The strikes on Lebanon have forced thousands of people to flee their homes. Urgent warnings to more than a dozen villages in southern and eastern Lebanon were issued early this morning telling people there to evacuate ahead of imminent strikes.
