Israel has vowed victory over Iran's retaliatory drone and missile strikes as Australia condemned the attack and urged the Middle Eastern nation not to exacerbate conflict.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to achieve victory after the military said it had shot down almost all of the more than 300 drones and missiles launched by Iran, in a major escalation of the long-running covert war between the regional foes. Iran launched the unprecedented attack on Israeli positions as sirens sounded in many places and blasts were heard in the skies above Jerusalem early Sunday.
"Should the Israeli regime make another mistake, Iran's response will be considerably more severe," the Iranian mission to the UN said, warning the US to "stay away". However, it also said Iran now "deemed the matter concluded".
