The retaliatory strikes came on Saturday, a day after Israel killed top Iranian military leaders and scientists and destroyed an aboveground nuclear enrichment plant near Natanz.

Israel’s attack on Iran was long in the making – the result of years of meticulous planning by Israel and days of high-stakes talks between Tel Aviv and Washington, officials told CNN.

Experts suggest the U.S. has a strategic opportunity to leverage Iran's weakened position for a nuclear deal after Israel's targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites.

Israel warns "Tehran will burn" if Iran continues firing missiles, while state media say 60 people have been killed in a strike on Iran's capital.

Interviews with half a dozen senior Iranian officials show that they were not expecting Israel to strike before another round of talks.

Israel says it has more attacks planned against Iran after a series of overnight strikes targeted Tehran’s nuclear program and shook global tensions. As Washington watches the fallout, President Donald Trump is continuing to push Tehran toward the negotiating table to come to a nuclear deal.

Oil prices surged and stocks tumbled Friday in the wake of Israel's strikes on Iran's top military officials and nuclear sites
