On 13 June, Israel, claiming to have information proving that Iran is approaching the "point of no return" towards an atomic bomb, launched an unprecedented large-scale attack on Iranian territory, hitting over 200 military and nuclear sites and killing high-ranking officers, writes Agerpres. Iran, which denies seeking to develop nuclear weapons, launched dozens of missiles at Israel in response, stating that they targeted military installations. Most were intercepted by the Israeli military, but significant damage was recorded in the Tel Aviv area. On 14 June, Israel bombed Iran's air defense systems and missile launchers again.
