Iran and Israel targeted each other with missiles and airstrikes after Israel launched its biggest-ever air offensive against its longtime foe in a bid to prevent it from developing a nuclear weapon.
“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 cited an unnamed official as saying, citing senior military officials.
