Israel has warned that "Tehran will burn" if it continues its retaliatory strikes, as Iran warns the US, UK and France against shooting down its missiles.
Israel’s defence minister Katz said citizens of Iran would “pay a heavy price for the flagrant harm inflicted upon Israel's citizens” on Saturday, adding: “If Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front, Tehran will burn.”
The two countries targeted each other with missiles and airstrikes early on Saturday after Israel launched blistering attacks on the heart of Iran’s nuclear and military structure.
Iran has warned the US, UK and France that their bases and ships in the region will be targeted if they help stop Tehran's strikes on Israel.
Iran's state TV reported that around 60 people, including 20 children, were killed in an Israeli attack on a housing complex in Tehran. Earlier, the country’s ambassador told the UN Security Council that at least 78 people had been killed and more than 300 wounded in the strikes on Iran.
Iran launched a barrage of retaliation strikes on Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, killing at least three, injuring dozens and sending terrified civilians into shelters.
