Here’s an look back at what happened today:
Israel’s response: Israel’s war cabinet is debating how to respond to Iran’s attack, in which more than 300 missiles and drones were fired from Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen. Israel’s army spokesman said Iran would not get off “scot-free”
Sanctions: Israel said it launched a diplomatic offensive against Iran, with Tel Aviv’s foreign minister urging more than 30 countries to impose sanctions on Iran’s missile programme. Meanwhile, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says Washington expects to impose further sanctions on Iran “in the coming days”
Iran’s warning: Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi warned his country would react to the slightest action against its interests with a “severe, extensive and painful response”
