The two powers have been exchanging barrages since Israel attacked Iran and killed many of the country’s top military leaders and scientists.

The recent flare-up of military action started after Israel launched a “precise and integrated preemptive strike” against Iranian nuclear facilities and military targets in the early hours of Friday morning.

Israel’s sweeping attack across Iran struck at the heart of Tehran’s nuclear program, delivering a blow to the country’s ability to enrich uranium and potentially setting its nuclear ambitions back by months or years.
