"The US and Israel launched the war on Saturday, targeting Iran's leadership, missile arsenal and nuclear program while suggesting that toppling the government is a goal. But the exact aims and timelines have repeatedly shifted, signalling an open-ended conflict."
"The war has killed more than 1,000 people in Iran, more than 70 in Lebanon and around a dozen in Israel, according to officials in those countries. It has disrupted the supply of the world's oil and gas, snarled international shipping and stranded hundreds of thousands of travellers in the Middle East."
"Iran fired on Bahrain, Kuwait and Israel as the conflict spiralled. Turkey said Nato defences intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Iran before it entered Turkey's airspace."
