“The aerial road to Tehran is effectively open,” an IDF official said.

Later in the day, Benjamin Netanyahu said: “In the very near future, you will see Israeli air force jets over the skies of Tehran.”.

Early on Sunday, both sides launched a fresh wave of attacks, with Israel saying that that it was attacking military targets in Tehran while Iranian missiles penetrated air defences in northern and central Israel.

Israeli strikes also targeted Iran’s defence ministry building in Tehran, causing minor damage, Iran’s Tasnim news agency said on Sunday.
