What is known so far about Israel's attack on Iran

Israel has struck military targets inside Iran in a retaliatory strike that a senior US official described as "sweeping but precise".

Iran said three countries were hit and that "limited damage" was caused.

Here's everything we know so far:

- Israel struck military facilities in Iran early Saturday, saying it was in response to "months of continuous attacks by the regime in Iran against the State of Israel." The move was widely expected after Tehran's attacks on Israel earlier this month. Kan, Israel's public broadcaster, said dozens of warplanes were involved.

- The Israeli military said Saturday morning that it struck missile production sites and air defenses in several areas inside Iran and had ended its "targeted" airstrikes and that its planes had returned home safely. Israel's public broadcaster said three waves of attacks had been completed. The Israeli military said after its airstrikes: "If the regime in Iran makes the mistake of starting a new round of escalation, we will be forced to respond."

-The attack on Iran lasted more than three hours, with three different waves, during which Israel attacked military bases, air defense systems, missile production facilities and surface-to-surface missile launchers in the districts of Tehran and Khuzestan and Ilam in the western part of the country. This has been reported by the Israeli media. According to the New York Times, the attack hit 20 different targets. According to some reports, air defense systems in Syria and Iraq were hit by Israeli strikes during the operation to give freedom of action to fighters headed for Iran.

-At least seven explosions were reported in the skies over the capital, Tehran and nearby Karaj, as well as in the eastern city of Mashhad shortly after 2:30 a.m. local time on Saturday, as Israeli jets struck military targets in the country.

-Iran said its air defense system successfully countered Israeli attacks on military targets in Tehran, Khuzestan and Ilam provinces, with "limited damage" in some places. A semi-official Iranian news agency vowed a "proportionate response" to Israeli moves against Tehran.

-A senior Biden official said the strikes were "broad", "precise" and against military targets across Iran in order to deter future aggression. The official emphasized that the US considered the operation to be an "end to the exchange of fire between Israel and Iran" and that the US had no involvement in the Israeli military operation.

- US news outlet Axios reported on Saturday that US and Israeli officials estimate that Iran will respond militarily, but in a limited way.

-Iran and Iraq briefly suspended all flights after the Israeli attacks. Iran's civil aviation authority later resumed flights from 9 a.m. (05:30 GMT) on Saturday.

-Iranian media initially appeared to downplay the airstrikes, noting that Tehran's airport was operating normally. State television reported several loud explosions heard around the capital, while state news agency IRNA said there were no casualties. There was no immediate official comment on the source of the explosions, which Iranian news media reported were under investigation. Air defense systems were activated across the country.

- The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) took the rare step of admitting to attacking Iran, confirming in a statement that a decades-old shadow war between the enemy states is now firmly open. The IDF posted on X: "In response to months of continued attacks by the regime in Iran against the State of Israel - Israel Defense Forces are now conducting precision strikes against military targets in Iran."

-The attacks are widely expected as retaliation for a missile barrage launched by Iran on October 1 that saw around 180 ballistic missiles fired at Tel Aviv and military bases, in an unprecedented direct confrontation between the two regional foes.
