Iran has launched multiple ballistic missiles at Israel following Israeli airstrikes that reportedly killed Revolutionary Guard chief Hossein Salami and six scientists. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed to "inflict heavy blows" in retaliation. Massive explosions and bright flashes were seen over Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, with air raid sirens sounding as Israel declared a state of emergency. The Israeli military confirmed multiple rocket barrages and activated its missile defences. Drones were sighted over Jerusalem, and global air traffic is now avoiding Iranian airspace. US President Trump urged Iran to make a nuclear deal while denying direct involvement in the conflict. (PC: BBC)
