When Israel launched its series of strikes against Iran last week, it also issued a number of dire warnings about the country’s nuclear program, suggesting Iran was fast approaching a point of no return in its quest to obtain nuclear weapons and that the strikes were necessary to preempt that outcome.

The two powers have been exchanging barrages since Israel attacked Iran and killed many of the country’s top military leaders and scientists.

Israel's military said it was striking military targets in Tehran in its latest salvo against the Iranian capital, after issuing evacuation warnings for one neighborhood. The military said it would publish more details as the situation progresses.
