US says Iran's nuclear sites 'devastated'

Tehran accused President Trump of 'betrayal' and warned of 'everlasting consequences'.

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth says the US "devastated the Iranian nuclear programme" with its overnight strikes on three sites. However, he said the strikes were not about changing the regime led by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. We'll bring you the latest news and reaction to the strikes; assess the damage done to Iran's nuclear programme; and the next steps in the war.

Also in the programme: We speak to the wife of the Belarusian dissident Siarhei Tsikhanouski who has been released after five years in prison; and Syrian rescue workers say at least fifteen people have been killed in a suicide bombing at a church in the capital Damascus.
