Although Iran maintains that its nuclear program is for peaceful energy purposes, Israel has long seen it as a threat. Israeli strikes have hit three of Iran’s nuclear facilities — Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow. Little damage appears visible in satellite imagery of Fordow.

The Israeli military issues an "urgent warning" to people in Tehran's District 3 that air strikes will hit "military infrastructure" in the area.

Israeli fighter jets destroyed several aboveground buildings at Natanz, Iran's main uranium enrichment facility, images show.
