Here are some of the latest images from the Israel-Iran conflict.

In the northern port city of Haifa in Israel, Iranian strikes have destroyed some buildings.

It is one of a number of areas in central and northern parts of the country that were hit by a barrage of Iranian missiles fired this morning.

Iran's response follows US attacks on three nuclear sites overnight.

In the last few minutes, the IDF has announced that the Israeli Air Force has begun a "wave of attacks against military targets in western Iran".

It follows a barrage of missiles from Iran in the wake of the US attack on three nuclear sites.

The IDF says the air force attacked missile launchers in Iran that were targeting Israel, sites where missiles were just launched from, as well as "soldiers in the Iranian military forces".

Iranian missiles have hit Tel Aviv, as Iran's retaliation for the US strikes overnight continues.

Footage on social media shows the impact site in the Israeli city, where the front of a large building has been destroyed.

Emergency responders are at the scene, working among the rubble.

We brought you news earlier that Tel Aviv was among the areas in northern and central Israel that had been hit - see our 6.50 post.

As the sun rises above Jerusalem this morning, Israelis will be waking to the news that America has joined their war and attacked Iran. It will be met with mixed feelings.

For the first night in over a week, there was no Iranian missile attack on Israel, but while the new day brings comfort in US military support, there will also be deep trepidation that this war has entered a dangerous and potentially uncontrollable phase.

Benjamin Netanyahu released a video statement praising the US president and saying peace comes through strength; Donald Trump addressed the American nation and warned Iran he would not hesitate to order further action if it retaliates.

What happens next is largely in Iran's control. What they choose to do will determine the future of this region.

The question is now not whether they will respond, but how?

Some lines to bring you now from Iran's foreign ministry.

Iran has the right to respond with all its might to military aggression by the US, the ministry says. 

It added that the world must not forget the US struck militarily during a diplomatic process - referencing ongoing talks about Iran's nuclear programme. 

Britain's David Lammy met his Iranian counterpart, along with European foreign ministers, in Geneva this week. 

Iranian missiles have hit northern and central Israel, according to media reports in the country.

Areas such as Haifa, Nes Ziona, the Rishon Lezion area and Tel Aviv were all said to be hit.

Some clarity to bring you now on whether or not the UK had any role in last night's American attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities.

The US did not use any UK military facilities or have any support from British military assets during its strikes on Iran, Sky News understands.

Iran has written to the United Nations requesting an emergency meeting of its Security Council.

The letter from ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani follows up on previous letters from Iran to the UN.

It reads: "I am writing upon instructions from my government to urgently draw the attention of Your Excellency and the members of the United Nations Security Council to a grave threat to regional and international peace and security arising from the unlawful use of force by the United States against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran."

It went on to call the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities "deliberate, premeditated, and unprovoked", and said Israel had nuclear weapons.

In light of what it said were the US's "savage and criminal actions," it requested the Security Council convene an emergency meeting without delay.

Read the full letter below:

As we have been reporting, Iran has this morning launched retaliatory missiles towards Israel.

It comes after the US launched an attack on three Iranian nuclear facilities overnight.

The IDF said two waves of missiles were sent by Iran, but told citizens they could now leave protected areas after initially warning them to stay until further notice.

Watch below as sirens sound during our Middle East correspondent Alistair Bunkall's reporting from Jerusalem a short time ago.

Donald Trump is facing calls from US politicians to give more details on the attacks on Iran to the American people.

Chuck Schumer, a senior member of the Democratic Party and the Senate minority leader, called on Congress to enforce the War Powers Act - which requires a president to update Congress within 48 hours of military action.

In a statement, Schumer said: "President Trump must provide the American people and Congress clear answers on the actions taken tonight and their implications for the safety of Americans." 

"No president should be allowed to unilaterally march this nation into something as consequential as war with erratic threats and no strategy."

Mark Warner, another senior Democrat and the vice chairman of the Senate's intelligence committee, said he was not briefed on the strikes. 

He, too, called on the Republican president to update Congress.

"The president must come before Congress immediately to articulate clear strategic objectives and lay out how he plans to protect American lives and ensure we are not once again drawn into a costly, unnecessary, and avoidable conflict," Warner said.
