"The other side (the United States) acted in a way that makes dialogue meaningless," Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said on Friday. "You cannot claim to negotiate and at the same time divide work by allowing the Zionist regime (Israel) to target Iran's territory."
While Israel's defence systems intercepted many missiles, we now know that some reached populated areas, causing casualties and damaging infrastructure. The conflict marks a sharp escalation with both sides exchanging strikes amid fears of wider regional instability.
