Israel attacks Iran

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel struck Iran’s nuclear facility at Natanz and targeted scientists. He added that the operation against Iran would "continue as many days as it takes."

Iranian media also reported that explosions were heard in Tehran as tensions mounted over US' scheduled talks this weekend to win Iran's agreement to halt production of material for an atomic bomb.

A state of emergency has been declared by Israel, anticipating a retaliatory missile and drone strike by Tehran.

Meanwhile, Iran's air defence systems have been placed on full alert.

The strike killed the country's Revolutionary Guards chief Hossein Salami, local media reported.

"Major General Hossein Salami, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was martyred in the Israeli regime's attack on the IRGC headquarters," the local Tasnim news agency reported.

The Guard is a major power center within Iran’s theocracy, with vast business interests and oversees the nation’s ballistic missile arsenal.

The strike also killed two nuclear scientists Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani and Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, the state media reported.
