Israel-Iran: Israel Strikes Iran In Major Escalation


Listen Later

Today, Israel has carried out strikes in Iran targeting nuclear sites and military commanders in a major escalation of tensions.

Israel say they targeted the “heart” of Iran’s nuclear programme, whilst also killing Hossein Salami, chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards. Civilians, including children, were also among those killed, state media reported.

In response the Israeli military said Iran launched about 100 drones towards Israel on Friday morning, with Israeli media reporting all the drones were intercepted.

Adam is joined by Americast host Justin Webb and the Economist's defence editor Shashank Joshi.
