DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel launched an expanded assault on Iran on Sunday, with direct strikes targeting its energy industry and Defense Ministry headquarters, while Tehran unleashed a fresh barrage of missiles blamed for the deaths of four people and injuries of many others.

The violent conflict between Iran and Israel entered its third day Sunday, with overnight attacks killing at least 10 people in Israel and wounding at least 385 others.

In the past few hours, Israel has continued carrying out strikes across Iran as part of ‘Operation Rising Lion’. In the north-western city of Tabriz, Israel has hit a military airbase, according to a news agency affiliated with Iran's Revolutionary Guards.

Iran and Israel exchanged missile strikes on Saturday as the conflict sparked by Israel’s attack on its regional rival’s nuclear programme entered a second day.

Israel and Iran have opened a new chapter in their long history of conflict when Israel launched a major attack with strikes early Friday on Tehran.

An Iranian lawmaker said closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint in the global energy trade, was under serious consideration.
