Iran's state television headquarters was bombed by Israel and as the aerial war between the countries entered its fourth day on June 16. According to Reuters, the Israeli military escalated their bombardment of Iranian cities, while Iran showed they could bypass Israel's air defenses — missiles struck Tel Aviv and the Israeli port city of Haifa before dawn.
This flashpoint in the longstanding Israeli-Iranian conflict kicked off on June 13 when Israel struck Iran's uranium enrichment facility at Natanz and hit additional targets "at the heart" of the Islamic Republic's nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that "Iran's leading nuclear scientists" were also targets.
Here's a look at where strikes have been reported so far and what the nuclear sites looked like before and after the attacks:
The Israeli military reports that it damaged an underground area of Iran's uranium enrichment facility at Natanz that contained a "multi-story enrichment hall with centrifuges, electrical rooms and additional supporting infrastructure." The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that at least one strike hit the Natanz nuclear site. The nuclear watchdog said in a statement that it has found "no elevated radiation levels" at the facility.
