Israel pounded Iran in a series of air raids on Friday (Jun 13), striking 100 targets including Tehran’s nuclear and military sites, and killing the armed forces’ chief of staff, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and top nuclear scientists.
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned Israel it faced a “bitter and painful” fate over the attacks.
The Israeli military said later that Iran launched 100 drones towards Israel in response and that its air defences were intercepting them outside Israeli territory.
Iran’s Fars news agency, citing a security source, denied reports that Tehran had launched drones, adding that its revenge “will take place in the near future”.
