Israel and Iran threaten to step up their military confrontation, nearly 48 hours after the Israeli strikes began. Newshour analyses Israel's strategy and assesses how close Iran was to making a nuclear weapon. Also in the programme: two US politicians are shot in Minnesota; and Bangladesh's interim Prime Minister Muhammad Yunus on the ending of aid to his country.

  • Hello and welcome to News Hour from the BBC World Service.

  • We're coming to you live from London.

  • I'm Paul Henley.

  • Israel and Iran have continued to carry out air strikes against each other for a second day.

  • Israel claims 20 Iranian military commanders have been killed

  • since their operation began,

  • while a senior adviser to Iran's supreme leader has also died.

  • Iran's Revolutionary Guards say they've attacked dozens of targets in Israel in response.

  • This woman in Tehran described how the last two days had been for her.

  • For two nights, I haven't been able to sleep.

  • I've been alone at home.

  • During these two nights,

  • I've gone through really tough situations.

  • I've been reminded of my past,

  • when I was five or six years old,

  • and the situation of bombings and going to shelters during the Iran-Iraq war.

  • The difference is that back then,

  • at least when an attack happened,

  • we heard the air raid siren,

  • or at least warnings before it happened.
