Israel is shutting all of its embassies and consulates around the world following the wide-scale Israeli strikes on Iran, the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem said on Friday.
Israel carried out at least two waves of attacks on Iranian territory, targeting nuclear facilities, top scientists and military commanders.
Israeli media reported that Iran retaliated with about 100 drones and that they were all shot down.
"In light of recent developments, Israeli missions around the world will be closed and consular services will not be provided," read a message posted by the country's embassies in the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Nigeria, Russia, Ukraine and France.
