Israel says conducting 'precise strikes' in Iran

13 Sept 10:51 Key points summarised by AI

Israel launched "precise strikes" on military targets in Iran, stating it was in retaliation for months of continuous attacks from the Iranian regime.
Iranian state media reported "strong explosions" around the capital Tehran, though the cause of the blasts was initially unclear.
The United States supported Israel's actions, calling them "an exercise of self-defence" following Iran's ballistic missile attack against Israel on October 1.
Syrian state news agency SANA also reported that Syrian air defences intercepted "hostile targets" near Damascus, suggesting a potential broader scope to the strikes.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
