Israel launched strikes on Iranian government sites in Tehran on Monday, retaliating after Iran fired missiles and drones at Israel in response to U.S. attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities the previous day.
The Israeli military also confirmed it struck roads around Iran’s Fordo enrichment facility to obstruct access to the site. The underground site was one of those hit in Sunday’s attack by the United States on three nuclear facilities. The Israeli military did not elaborate.
In Tehran attacks, Israel’s Defense Ministry said it hit targets that included the notorious Evin Prison in the Iranian capital and the security headquarters of the paramilitary Revolutionary Guards.
"The Iranian dictator will be punished with full force for attacking the Israeli home front," the ministry said.
The strikes also hit Tehran's Palestine Square and other "military command centers belonging to the Iranian regime," it said.
