Tehran is opening a new front against the US and Israel that doesn't involve missiles. Iran's vice president for science Hossein Afshin said the country is documenting strikes on its research centres and preparing a legal case for international forums, according to state-linked Mehr News. Iranian officials claim more than 20 universities have been damaged and academics killed since fighting began on 28 February.
