Iran has launched dozens of ballistic missiles toward Israel on Friday night in retaliation for Israel's surprise attack early Friday.

Israel struck at the heart of the Iran's nuclear program, killing several nuclear scientists as well as high-ranking military leaders, according to Israeli officials.

The U.S. did not provide any military assistance or have any involvement in the Israeli strike, a U.S. official told ABC News.

US-Iran talks unlikely to happen this weekend, Iranian official says

It's unlikely the sixth round of talks between the U.S. and Iran on a potential nuclear deal will happen this weekend in Oman, Iranian Member of Parliament Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on Iranian TV Friday.

"We are on the verge of the sixth round, which I don't think will happen with these developments, because they have, in fact, shown their entry into our red lines. Therefore, I think this is in connection with the nuclear issue," Boroujerdi said, in an interview in Farsi.

U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff had been scheduled to meet with Iranian officials on Sunday prior to the overnight attacks.

Attacks will last for days, maybe even weeks, IDF official says

Israel's attacks on Iran can be expected to last for days, maybe even weeks, an Israel Defense Forces official told ABC News. The goal is to get the job done, the source said, which means destroying Iran's nuclear capability and missile arsenal.

Israel has complete control over the skies in Iran, having denuded the country of its air defenses in the previous two attacks last year, the source said.

The reason Iran hasn't launched missiles in reprisal is not because it's biding its time, but it's because Israel has destroyed the missiles that were ready for launch, according to the source.

The source underscored that 200 or so Israeli jets flew a 2,000 mile round trip over other semi-hostile nations, like Syria and Iraq, without a single mishap and without a single casualty.
