As footage emerges of the aftermath of the airstrikes on Iran, BBC worldwide editor Jeremy Bowen explains that it’s one other main escalation within the deepening warfare within the Middle East.
Israel says it’s responding to months of sustained assaults by Iran, not solely to the ballistic missiles Iran launched at Israel on October 1, however to aggression by Iran’s allies and proxies.
In an announcement, Iran’s Foreign Ministry condemned the Israeli assault and described it as a “clear violation” of worldwide legislation.
