DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel launched an expanded assault on Iran on Sunday, with direct strikes targeting its energy industry and Defense Ministry headquarters, while Tehran unleashed a fresh barrage of missiles blamed for the deaths of four people and injuries of many others.

A series of loud explosions are heard in central Israel as the military says it carried out intelligence-based strikes in Tehran.

Israel's airstrikes have deepened a climate of fear within Iran, where there is a shortage of reliable information. A woman in Tehran said one of the worst things about the attacks is that they usually come without warning.

While this clip is fake, waves of Iranian missile attacks have targeted Israel since the latter launched a major attack on its arch regional rival. Just before dawn, sirens sounded once again, sending millions of people in Israel to seek shelter as another barrage of missiles was launched against the country by Iran.

After striking back on Friday night, Iran launched a new wave of strikes toward Israel on Saturday morning. Now, the two countries continue to exchange deadly missiles and threats, with fatalities and injuries reported on both sides.

Israel’s attack on Iran was long in the making – the result of years of meticulous planning by Israel and days of high-stakes talks between Tel Aviv and Washington, officials told CNN.

MOSCOW − Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke to Donald Trump for 50 minutes on June 14, condemning the Israeli military operation against Iran and expressing concern about the risks of escalation, the Kremlin said.
