Israel has launched air strikes on Iran, with blasts heard in the capital Tehran
Israel's military says the strikes were on Irania military targets and all its planes have returned safely
Military bases in the west and south west of the Iranian capital were targeted, according to an Iranian news agency close to the country's Revolutionary Guards - Iranian state media says two soldiers were killed
The Israel Defense Forces say the strikes are in response to "months of continuous attacks" from Iran and after a barrage of Iranian missiles hit Israel on 1 October
The US was briefed on the strikes beforehand, but did not have any involvement in the operation, according to the Pentagon
Following the Israeli air attacks against targets in Iran, several videos from Iranian cities have started to emerge.
BBC Verify is analysing social media activity and it is verifying and investigating the many videos that are being published online.
Much of the content shared online out of Iran showing the effect of the Israeli strikes is hard to verify as it’s filmed at night and it’s hard to make out landmarks.
However, we were able to geolocate this video filmed from a neighbourhood north of the capital, Tehran.
Flashes can be seen in the night sky, along with audible explosions. We’ve been able to locate the video by identifying the towers of the ASP Shopping Centre just in front of the camera position. There’s also a taller building to the right of the image with a strip of lights at the top, which we’ve confirmed to be the Tehran International Tower.
