• US strikes Iran: The US struck several key Iranian nuclear facilities early Sunday, including Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.

• Hostilities escalate: The Israel-Iran conflict has entered its second week, with both sides still trading strikes. After the US strikes, Israel’s military said Iran fired a fresh.

Eleven people were wounded in the strikes, according to MDA.
