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.

Iran’s state TV just announced that the country has started the second wave of its True Promise Operation Three on Israel tonight. The state TV said that this time the attack is a combination of drones and "more than 100" missiles, with Haifa and Tel Aviv being the main target tonight.

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’s historic strike on Iran revealed years of Mossad activity inside the country, including hidden weapons, drones and assassinations of nuclear officials.

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.

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.
