Israeli Air Force launched airstrikes on Tehran, targeting Iranian nuclear and military facilities early Friday, according to Israeli military officials and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Images showed damage in residential areas, and reports claim Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Chief Commander Hossein Salami was killed.

Iran vowed swift retaliation and condemned the strikes, while the US denied involvement and warned Iran against targeting American interests.

The escalation follows recent tensions over Iran’s nuclear program and stalled US-Iran nuclear talks.
