The strikes on Tehran are another major escalation

As the footage and its aftermath emerge, BBC international editor Jeremy Bowen explains it’s another major escalation in the deepening Middle East war.

Israel says it is responding to months of continuous attacks by Iran, not only with ballistic missiles — after a barrage of Iranian missiles hit Israel on Oct. 1 — but also by Iran’s allies and aides.

In a statement, Iran’s Foreign Ministry condemned Israel’s attack and called it a “clear violation” of international law.
