Israel's operation against Iran's nuclear program, military leadership and arsenal of missiles is nowhere near over, with Israel having planned out 14 days of operations, a senior Israeli official said.

Regime change in Iran could be a result of Israel's military attacks on the country, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News on Sunday, saying Israel would do whatever is necessary to remove the "existential threat" posed by Tehran.

A towering inferno blazed where Tehran’s main oil reservoir once stood, turning the skies over the city black.

The two powers have been exchanging barrages since Israel attacked Iran and killed many of the country’s top military leaders and scientists.

Israel has called its military operation against Iran "Rising Lion", taking the name from a biblical verse that promises a victorious future for a powerful Israel.

As the head of the secretive Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami, was one of the most powerful men in Iran, overseeing its most potent military arm and reporting directly to its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

BEIRUT — Iran and Israel traded air raids and ballistic missile barrages overnight and into the evening Sunday, with neither side showing any inclination to back down from an escalating grudge match between the two longtime enemies.

Iran has fired two waves of missiles into Israel overnight. Another set of strikes near Tel Aviv killed a 60-year-old woman, according to the Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA). A further 20 people have been injured in the same area, as well as 24 people in the Judean Foothills, a spokesperson for the MDA added.

The Israeli military said on Friday it had “significantly damaged” Iran’s uranium enrichment facility at Natanz and that the operation was “still in the beginning.”

Israel’s ambassador to the U.S., Yechiel Leiter, claimed that Israel had set Iran’s nuclear program back significantly, but that the full operation could take “weeks.”

Iran has asked Cyprus to convey "some messages" to Israel, President Nikos Christodoulides said on Sunday, adding he expected to speak to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu later in the day. He did not say who specifically the messages were from or what they said,
