What we know about Israel's overnight attack on Iran
It comes after weeks of soaring tensions between the regional rivals, which have already seen an Israeli attack on an Iranian compound in Syria, and Iran launch an unprecedented assault against Israel.
How do we know there has been a strike?
What is Iran saying about the strike?
The Syrian defence ministry said an air defence site in the south of Syria was hit by an Israeli missile in the early hours of Friday morning local time. Israel has not confirmed it was behind the strike.
Why was Isfahan targeted and why now?
Israel would usually tell the US in advance about military action, though Italy's foreign minister Antonio Tajani told reporters at the G7 meeting in Capri that Washington was "informed at the very last minute".
Despite its vast scale and unprecedented nature, Iran's attack was largely unsuccessful, with the vast majority of projectiles shot down by Israeli air defences with the help of the US, UK and other allies.
Will this increase tensions between Israel and Iran?
Israel has come under huge international pressure from the US and other western allies not to take any action which risks turning the long-running proxy war between the two Middle East rivals into a direct conflict.
What has the reaction in Israel and around the world been?
How has the world economy reacted?
Oil prices had jumped by as much as 3.5% initially but the price stabilised when it became clearer the strike was limited.
The price of gold - which is often seen as a safe investment at times of uncertainty - briefly came close to a record high before falling back to nearly $2,400 an ounce.
