Many nations have called for restraint, and the United Nations Security Council is due to hold an emergency meeting later on Sunday. "Operation Honest Promise... achieved all its objectives", said Mohammad Bagheri, the Iranian armed forces' chief of staff.

Israel, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon all said they had reopened their airspace after suspending air traffic during the attack.Iran's allies in the region joined the attack, with Yemen's Tehran-backed Huthi rebels also launching drones at Israel, according to security agency Ambrey. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called for"calm heads to prevail," adding that UK fighter jets were among those shooting down Iranian attack drones.Pope Francis called for"an end to any action which could fuel a spiral of violence".
