Israel's Netanyahu says strikes in Tehran will escalate

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Sunday to intensify air strikes on Tehran in the coming days, declaring that the military had mobilised its "full strength" in the campaign against Iran.

"I have issued instructions for the continuation of the campaign... Our forces are now striking at the heart of Tehran with intense power, and this will only escalate in the days ahead," Netanyahu said in a video statement.

"We are engaged in a campaign in which the military is deploying its full strength as never before, to ensure our existence and our future."
