Iran has been living with Western sanctions for almost 40 years, and never have so many sanctions been imposed so quickly as against Russia. Although their effect is limited, there is little alternative.

Iran's enrichment of uranium and a lack of access to international monitors fuel suspicions about its nuclear activities. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) remains committed to promoting dialogue with Tehran.

From calls for restraint and acknowledgments of Israel's right to defend itself to political finger-pointing — here's how world leaders reacted to Iran's attack on Israel.

Iran has accused Israel of conducting a deadly airstrike against its embassy in Syria. Tehran has now threatened to retaliate, amid growing fears the conflict in Gaza could spread. Here's what you need to know.

Unrelated images are going viral on social media, claiming to show last Friday's retaliatory strike by Israel on Iran. In this edition of Truth or Fake, we tell you what we know about this footage, based on verified images.

Iran's missile strike on Israel late on Saturday was its first ever direct attack on the country. Fears are continuing to mount of an escalation of violence in the region. After analysing the images shared by both Iran and Israel, we found inconsistencies in the footage published by authorities on both sides.

Despite much loud and public anger about Israel's conduct in Gaza, Jordan came to Israel's aid this weekend. Jordanians who have protested against Israel are feeling betrayed.

The global economy has so far shrugged off the Iranian strike on Israel. Important markets like oil had already priced in a possible attack, while gold and stock markets only moved slightly.

Iranian state media have reported loud explosions in the sky near the central city of Isfahan. Tehran says say its air defense systems were activated at a nearby military base and a nuclear facility.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, Iran fired hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel in an unprecedented strike launched directly from Iranian territory. Almost all of the drones, rockets and cruise missiles launched by Iran were intercepted by Israeli air defenses with the help of the US, UK, and several Arab countries.

Did it finish with Saturday night, or will it spiral further out of control? Iran's first-ever direct attack against Israel has already sent the whole region into uncharted territory. We ask about the measure of its response to Israel's targeting of Tehran's embassy compound in Syria. We also ask whether the proportionality shows Iran's strength or weakness, and whether Israel's prime minister will heed the call of G7 allies to leave it there and move towards an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

As the US government and its allies mull new sanctions on Iran after Tehran's missile and drone attack on Israel, we look at whether existing sanctions have been effective at stemming the flow of Iranian oil to global markets.
