Hamas blasts Israeli attacks on Iran as 'an escalation' and Turkey says strikes have 'brought our region to the brink of greater war'
Israel carried out three waves of attacks on air defences and sites housing and producing missiles and drones in the early hours of Saturday morning, causing 'limited damage' according to Iran and crucially avoiding key oil fields and nuclear facilities that could have provoked a sharp response from Iran.
But the foreign ministry in Tehran insisted it was 'entitled and obligated to defend itself against external aggressive acts' after the attack, and Israel was roundly criticised by neighbours.
Turkey was among the loudest voices condemning Israel's strikes and calling for an end to what it said was Israel's 'terror' in the region. The foreign ministry said that Israel had 'brought our regional to the brink of greater war' in a statement today.
