Israel has escalated its bombardment of Iranian cities, including Tehran's state television headquarters; Iranian missiles have struck Tel Aviv.

The conflict between Israel and Iran has wreaked considerable damage in both countries and caused casualties on both sides.

Iranian sites such as the Isfahan nuclear technology centre, Shiraz missile production facility, Tabriz north missile base, and more have been struck by Israel.

Qatar warned Tuesday that Israeli attacks on energy facilities in Iran will impact oil prices. "The attack on the Iranian side of the South Pars gas field is an uncalculated move that threatens energy security,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari said during a press briefing in Doha.

If the U.S. decides to support Israel more directly in its attack on Iran, one option for Washington would be to provide the “bunker-buster” bombs believed necessary to significantly damage the Fordo nuclear fuel enrichment plant,

Israeli officials have been pushing the United States to join the fray and use its huge bunker-busting bomb to crush Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Israel has conducted a precision strike on Iran's most secretive and secure nuclear facility - the Natanz nuclear complex, which is located deep underground.

Israel warned hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate the middle of Iran’s capital as Israel’s air campaign on Tehran appeared to broaden on the fourth day of an intensifying conflict.

The retaliatory strikes came on Saturday, a day after Israel killed top Iranian military leaders and scientists and destroyed an aboveground nuclear enrichment plant near Natanz.
