India, June 8 -- Israel has retaliated against Iran's missile attacks Monday by targeting its military sites and a petrochemical plant, reports said.

The two rival nations exchanged fire in the worst strikes in months, for the first time since the US-Iran ceasefire in April.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the strikes reportedly defying US president Donald Trump's warning not to do so at a time he said a deal with Iran is "very close."
