Iran and Iranian-backed militias fired missiles at Israel while Israel and the United States pounded targets in Iran as the war expanded.
Israeli forces struck a meeting of Iran’s Supreme Council on Tuesday as officials gathered to choose a successor to the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a source said.
U.S. and Israeli military officials are talking as often as 4,000 to 5,000 times a day, divvying up targets across Iran.
Newsweek has created a list recording every country where a strike has been reported in the U.S.-Iran conflict.
Airstrikes have targeted organizations responsible for suppressing protests and cracking down on separatists, though analysts are skeptical the strategy will work.
The Trump administration has defended the war on Iran by arguing that the Middle Eastern country posed a significant threat to the United States. Officials argued that Iran was nearing the development of a nuclear weapon and ballistic missiles capable of reaching U.S. territory.
Trump added that he had ordered oil tanker insurance support, a move that marks an aggressive step to try to contain soaring energy prices.
A map created by the CBS News data team shows the strike locations across Iran, including the capital and the site of a major nuclear facility.
