Description:

The conflict between Israel and Iran started last Thursday. BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner, Mikey Kay, host of the Security Brief on BBC News, and BBC World Service Middle East correspondent Nafiseh Kohnavard answer your questions on the Iran‑Israel conflict. Israel launched a surprise attack last week that it says killed many top Iranian military commanders and atomic scientists, but it does not appear to have achieved its goal of destroying Iran's nuclear development programme. Israeli strikes have killed at least 224 people in Iran, according to the Iranian health ministry, and at least 24 people in Israel, according to the government.
