Columns of smoke rose Friday over Iran’s main nuclear enrichment facility at Natanz after Israeli strikes on the country. Footage aired by Iran's state media showed what looked like an immediate aftermath of several explosions on the horizon at the nuclear facility, a fireball and plumes of smoke billowing into the sky.

Israel has launched 'Operation Rising Lion' targeting Iran's nuclear and military infrastructure, warning civilians to evacuate weapons production sites. As tensions escalate, global concerns mount over the potential for a prolonged regional conflict.
