Israel strikes targets across Iran, expanding their conflict

Iran didn't immediately vow to respond. Instead, it played down the scale and effectiveness of the attack and suggested its warnings in recent weeks against an aggressive strike had worked to deter Israel. Israel said its fighter jets hit missile-making facilities and that its operation was "completed," suggesting it planned no more strikes. Numerous explosions were reported around Tehran, the city of Shiraz and the western provinces of Khuzestan and Ilam.
