Israel hits Iran as drone wreckage found
The wreckage of a drone was found in Isfahan, after Iran said its air defence system had intercepted and taken down an Israeli drone which they identified as a 'Hermes' drone.
Footage aired on Iranian TV showed a correspondent pointing at stickers in Hebrew as well as at various destroyed parts of the drone and at what looked like an unexploded device.
Israel's military said 50 Israeli jets struck around 20 targets in Tehran overnight, including sites producing raw materials, components and manufacturing systems for missiles. The military told Iranians to leave parts of the capital for their own safety while it struck targets.
The Israeli army released a video it said showed strikes on various military infrastructure in Iran, including on five attack helicopters in the city of Kermanshah.
The footage also purports to show Israeli strikes on surface-to-surface missile launchers, including an Emad, in various locations in Iran, as well as on Iranian operatives who are seen running away.
Meanwhile the prospect that Trump could bring the United States into the war has raised the stakes since he abandoned a G7 summit and met his security officials in Washington on Tuesday.
Trump has veered from proposing a swift diplomatic end to the war to suggesting the United States might join it.
In social media posts on Tuesday he mused about killing Khamenei, and demanded Iran's unconditional surrender.
A source familiar with internal discussions said Trump and his team were considering joining Israel in strikes against Iranian nuclear sites, among other options.
Israel's military told Iranians to leave parts of the capital for their safety while it struck targets.
Internet access in Iran is restricted. There are also reports of an attack on the Arak heavy water facility.
