Israel said on Friday it targeted nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders in a "preemptive strike" to prevent Tehran from building an atomic weapon. Several brokerages had initially expected a cut but revised their forecasts after the Israeli strikes sparked fears of a broader conflict.

Iranian commander Mohsen Rezaei said Pakistan backs Iran and urged Muslim unity, claiming Tehran holds hidden capabilities yet to be revealed.

Iran has launched missiles at Israel again third day in a row. This comes soon after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that Tehran’s responses will be “more decisive and severe” if Israel continues its campaign.
