We'll also be providing text updates here in the blog.
Netanyahu: Trump's bold decision will change history
Benjamin Netanyahu says Donald Trump and the US have acted with strength following strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.
Posting on X, the Israeli leader says Trump's "bold decision" to target the three nuclear sites "will change history".
"America has done what no other country on earth could do," he says.
"History will record that president Trump acted to deny the world's most dangerous regime, the world's most dangerous weapons.
"His leadership today has created a pivot in history that can help lead the Middle East and beyond into a period of prosperity and peace."
US used bunker buster bombs on Fordow, Trump tells Fox News host
We're starting to get more information about the US attack on Iran's nuclear sites.
The US used six 30,000lb bunker buster bombs dropped from B-2 stealth bombers in its strikes on Fordow, Donald Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity.
Additionally, 30 tomahawk missiles launched from US submarines were used in the attacks on the Nanatz and Isfahan facilities.
Trump expected to say that the US is not currently planning additional strikes inside Iran
Donald Trump is expected to say that the US is not currently planning additional strikes inside Iran when he speaks from the White House at 8pm (3am UK time), senior White House officials have told our US partner network NBC News.
These officials say Trump hopes the strikes propel Iran back to negotiations as he presses its leaders to an agreement that will end this war.
In a brief call with NBC, the US president called the strikes a "complete and total success".
Analysis: Iranian response could target US military bases or global shipping
Iran will "have to respond" to the US attacks, but just how it will do this is uncertain, our Middle East correspondent Alistair Bunkall says.
He says Iran may target the Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman, and global shipping, or US military bases.
"If they [Iran] kill US service personnel, then this could get very messy very quickly. If they do something limited, then I think they will have had their riposte," Bunkall says.
"I think Trump doesn't want to continue it and I can imagine Trump will say to the Israelis: 'Enough now, you've had just over a week striking hundreds of targets. I've now done this. It's time to bring it to an end'."
Iranian state TV downplays damage caused
Addressing claims on Iranian state television that there has only been damage to the entrance and exit tunnels of the Fordow nuclear site, Bunkall says it is a "little too early" to read into such statements.
"Six massive ordnance penetrators would have done considerably more than just simply blowing the doors off," he says.
"Iranian state TV will be an interesting place to watch over the coming hours and see their messaging, if their messaging does remain similar to that, it is an indicator of the message internally to the people within Iran.
"If you downplay the damage that the Americans have done, then potentially you bring down the scale of what kind of retaliatory action you need to take as well."
Israel steps up alert level
The Israeli military has stepped up the state of alert across the country following US strikes on Iran.
All areas of the country are now limited to only essential movement. Schools and workplaces will all be closed, with the only exceptions being for "essential sectors".
Trump says Iran will 'get hit again' if it doesn't make peace immediately
Donald Trump has threatened further strikes on Iran unless it doesn't agree to an immediate peace with Israel.
Speaking to Reuters news agency in a brief phone interview, Trump said US strikes on Iran's nuclear sites were an "amazing success".
"They should make peace immediately. They should stop immediately. Otherwise they'll get hit again."
Trump spoke with Netanyahu after strikes
Donald Trump spoke with Benjamin Netanyahu this evening after the US attacked three nuclear sites in Iran, a senior White House official has told our US partner network NBC news.
The two have spoken almost every day in the last week concerning the conflict between Israel and Iran.
Iran confirms nuclear sites attacked by 'enemy airstrikes'
We have just had confirmation from Iran that US strikes have damaged three of the country's nuclear sites.
Morteza Haydari, the spokesperson of crisis management in Iran's Qom province, said part of the Fordow nuclear plant was attacked by "enemy airstrikes," the Tasnim news agency reported.
Meanwhile, Akbar Salehi, the deputy security officer of the governor of Isfahan, said: "An hour ago, air defences in Isfahan and Kashan began operating to confront hostile targets."
Israel in 'full coordination' with US over strikes
Israel was in "full coordination" with the US for its strike, an Israeli official told Israeli public broadcaster Kan, according to the Reuters news agency.

Solar may account for half of new US electricity added this year, EIA says
NEW YORK, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Developers are on track to add 33 gigawatts of solar power in the U.S. this year, accounting for about half of the total new electricity generating capacity planned for the country in 2025, the Energy Information Administration said on Wednesday. If the plans are realized, large-scale solar power additions in the U.S. would reach a record high, said the EIA, which based its analysis on a survey of developers. New battery storage, which stores electricity from solar farms and other energy sources, may also hit a yearly record in 2025. Wind and natural gas power plants accounted for the rest of the capacity additions, the EIA said. Solar energy does not produce global warming emissions. That makes it central to plans by U.S. states to decarbonize, while also meeting record-high electricity demand brought on by Big Tech and other expanding industries. Many of the federal government financial incentives that propelled the development of solar power over the last several years, however, will disappear under the administration of President Donald Trump, adding uncertainty to future development of the technology. Texas, which last year surpassed California as the state with the most large-scale solar capacity, accounted for more than a quarter of the solar power developed so far in 2025. For the rest of the year, the Lone Star State plans for another 9.7 gigawatts of new solar capacity, or nearly half of all of U.S. solar planned for development over the time period. Texas' sunny weather, availability of large amounts of land and quickly-increasing power demand have drawn solar energy development.

Michelle Obama opens up about raising her daughters
Michelle Obama revealed her youngest daughter Sasha was 'difficult' for her husband Barack to parent in the latest episode of her podcast. The former First Lady, 61, was discussing raising her daughters Malia, 26, and Sasha, 24, on the latest episode of IMO, the podcast she hosts with her brother Craig Robinson. And she was quick to take a dig at her husband, the former President of the United States, as rumors continue to swirl over the state of their marriage. The mother-of-two opened up about their children to her guests Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade, where she alluded to her husband finding one daughter easier to raise than the other. Michelle and her guests were discussing the dynamics between siblings and parents, when she shared an anecdote from when the power-couple were raising their then-teenage girls in the White House between 2009 and 2017. She explained that her eldest daughter Malia, now 27, would try appease her father while her youngest Sasha, now 24, did not. 'I'd say this to Barack when it comes to [our] oldest Malia, she is going to figure out who you are and what you like' and discuss it,' Michelle explained, admitting the perception was an 'unusual' trait in a teenager. 'When Malia was a teenager, it wasn't that she was going out any less or doing anything differently,' she continued,'[but] she would tell me "I'm going out this weekend, but I'm going to go in and give dad like 15 minutes."' 'She'd go into the treaty room and go, "tell me about Syria ?"' Michelle recounted. 'Then she'd be like "ok, we'll I'm gone."' 'Barack would come out of the treaty room going, "I just had an amazing conversation with Malia,"' and I'm like "ok,"' she said dryly. Meanwhile, she said her youngest Sasha was 'like a cat' and wasn't so much a people pleaser, which Barack struggled with. 'She's like, "don't touch me, don't pet me, I'm not pleasing you, you come to me,"' the former FLOTUS explained. 'Barack's like, well, "she's difficult," and I was like "no, the first one was a pleaser, right?" She added that her daughters still have the same 'temperament.' Both have kept an extremely low profile since leaving the White House and have not commented on their mother sharing family secrets. It's not the first time Michelle has discussed the differences between the couple's parenting techniques, often opening up on her podcast about their struggles. In July, she told guests Julia Louis-Dreyfus she had a stern conversation about what kind of father he was going to be immediately after he was elected President of the United States in 2009. She explained that she told her husband he had to get their daughters' school used to the President of the United States being at events - and that she wanted him to still be as engaged with this daughters' lives as he was before he took office. 'It was like, "no, you got to go to parent-teacher conference" - and he wanted to go,' Michelle told Julia and Craig. She stated that even if he was not necessarily required to go, she still expected him there. 'You have to get the school normalized to you being the type of engaged parent that you were before election night,' she recalled telling Barack. 'And you were the father that went to parent teacher conference, you were the father that would coach your girls' basketball game league,' she recounted. In June, the devoted mom took another jibe at her husband of 33 years, confessing that she was glad the pair never had a son because he would have been just like her husband. 'I'm so glad I didn't have a boy... he would've been a Barack Obama,' she joked to her brother, Craig Robinson and radio host Angie Martinez. Michelle previously opened up about her relationship with her two daughters admitting they started 'pushing away' from her and her husband when they were teenagers. The mother-of-two explained that she believes her daughters distanced themselves because they wanted to 'distinguish themselves' from their famous parents as they became adults. The remarks come amid swirling rumors about the state of the power couple's marriage. In July, the pair - how have been married since 1992, finally addressed the state of their marriage - after months of speculation that the couple's relationship is on the rocks. The Obama's wasted no time in addressing the rumors of their separation when he appeared on IMO. 'What, you guys like each other?' Robinson joked, before Michelle replied: 'Oh yeah, the rumor mill.' 'She took me back!' Obama light-heartedly chimed in, adding: 'It was touch and go for awhile.' But Michelle's continued outpourings about her husband and children have done little to quell the rumors.
