Satellite images have revealed the damage to Iran's ballistic missile arsenal and nuclear facilities in the attack by Israel.
Images from Planet Labs PBC, analysed by news agency The Associated Press, showed damage at two missile bases - one each in Kermanshah and Tabriz, both in western Iran.
At the mountainside Kermanshah base, burns could be seen across a wide area after the attack. In Tabriz, images showed damage at multiple sites on the base.

Meanwhile, at the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, southwest of Iranian capital Tehran, the images show multiple buildings either damaged or destroyed; the targeted sites included structures experts say supplied power to the facility. The Natanz photos were taken by Maxar Technologies.
At the now-destroyed Natanz plant, Iran had enriched uranium to 60% purity - a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%.

While all the Natanz facilities damaged in the strikes are above ground, it didn't appear that there was any apparent impact on the site's underground enrichment halls.
Iran has not acknowledged the damage, though it reported on Israeli strikes in the area.

Satellite images also reveal impact at sites such as the nuclear facility at Piranshahr, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps' (IRGC) Ghadir site, and the Fordow fuel enrichment plant.

Under its Operation Rising Lion, Israel conducted strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. It also targeted and killed several top IRGC officers, and scientists of the Islamic Republic's nuclear programme.
In retaliation, Iran launched ballistic missiles at Israel's largest city Tel Aviv, killing three people and injuring dozens.
Israel then launched direct strikes targeting the Iranian energy industry and defense ministry headquarters on Sunday, with Iran unleashing a fresh barrage of missiles targeting its arch-rival.
