Israel has attacked the Iranian capital in strikes that targeted the country’s nuclear programme and killed at least two top military officers.

The assault on Tehran raises the potential for an all-out war between the two bitter Middle East adversaries and appears to be the most significant attack Iran has faced since its war with Iraq in the 1980s.
