Iran and Israel launched fresh attacks on each other after Tehran asserted that it will not negotiate over its nuclear programme while under threat. Israel has claimed that the attacks have delayed Iran’s nuclear capabilities by at least two to three years.
The Israeli military warned of incoming missiles from Iran at around 2:30 AM on Saturday, reported The Guardian. The barrage of strikes triggered air raid sirens across Central Israel including Tel Aviv as well as in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
According to Israel’s national emergency service, David Adom, sirens were also heard across southern Israel. An Israeli official asserted that Iran had fired five missiles with no immediate impact on the region, reported Reuters.
Iran’s Fars 카지노 사이트 Agency reported that Israeli strikes targeted the Isfahan Nuclear facility, which is one of the biggest in the nation. The agency reported that there was no leakage of any hazardous material from the facility. The Iranian media also added that Israel attacked a building in Qom, with initial reports of a 16-year-old being killed and two other injured.
The hostilities commenced when Israel launched an offensive against Iran to deter its nuclear capabilities on June 13. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei earlier made a series of posts on X stating that, “The battle begins,” amid escalating tensions with Israel. The posts were made following United States President Donald Trump’s threats demanding an "unconditional surrender” from Tehran. Trump had issued a series of emphatic statements, calling for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” and offering unwavering military and diplomatic support to Israel.
The matter was also discussed during the G7 Summit. The leaders of the Group of Seven nations had issued a joint statement asserting that “Iran can never have a nuclear weapon” and urged for a de-escalation in the middle-east. In the statement, the G7 nations labelled Iran as a source of conflict in the region and stated that "Israel has a right to defend itself."
