Israel's attack on Iran: How the world reacted

Regional and world governments have denounced Israel's attack on Iran on Saturday, calling it an assault on sovereignty and urging restraint between the two regional foes.

Officials said air defences activated and successfully repelled many of the strikes, while others caused "limited damage".
