Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Iran "will never compromise with Zionists", in a series of posts on X.
"We will show the Zionists no mercy," a translation of the post reads. In a different post, he says "the battle begins".
Israel said it struck a centrifuge site in Tehran and weapons facilities as part of its overnight barrage, whilst Iran launched its own attacks on Israel, with sirens sounding twice overnight.
Israeli military officials said strikes which took place last Friday were a pre-emptive attack, to damage Iran’s nuclear programme, as Iran was reaching “the point of no return”, though they have provided no evidence of that.
The latest assessments of the international community, including from the US, have indicated that Iran had not made a decision to weaponize its nuclear programme, something it had abandoned in 2003.
Iran, a member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), says it has the right to a peaceful nuclear programme, and has consistently denied it is seeking a nuclear weapon.
