Israel says it dropped 330 different munitions on more than 100 Iranian nuclear facilities.

The IAEA says Iran has increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels.

Israel says intelligence shows "the Iranian regime has made significant progress in achieving nuclear capability and its ability to act against us" Israel says its Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted most of the missiles, and U.S. officials confirm the United States helped Israel intercept Iranian missiles.
