Israeli attacks on Iran in pictures

In a wave of coordinated strikes, Israel targeted around 100 locations, including key nuclear facilities, military command centres, and high-value leadership targets.

Among those killed were Iran’s armed forces chief and prominent nuclear scientists. Explosions rocked multiple cities, with Tehran bearing the brunt of the attack.

Smoke was seen billowing from buildings hit by precision missiles, while rescue workers scrambled to pull survivors from the rubble.

The devastation sparked widespread protests across Iran, with civilians gathering in central Tehran to denounce the strikes.

Iran said Israel's deadly strikes on its military and nuclear facilities were a "declaration of war" and called on the UN Security Council to act.
