Iran declares no further retaliation against Israel after strikes

An Israeli official stated that Israel conducted a strike on Iran early Friday in response to a series of missile and drone attacks launched last weekend. The extent of the damage caused by the strike was not immediately clear. The official suggested that the strike was meant to demonstrate Israel's capability to launch attacks within Iran. Iran's foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, has warned that his country will give what he called "an immediate and maximum response" if there is a significant attack on it by Israel.

Also on the programme: the US House of Representatives will vote on foreign aid bills, including a military assistance package worth over sixty billion dollars for Ukraine. And, over fifty thousand runners, including elite athletes, will participate in the London Marathon tomorrow.
