The Israel-Iran conflict has intensified, with multiple air strikes hitting Iranian targets in Isfahan province. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that a centrifuge manufacturing workshop at the site was targeted. No nuclear material was found at the site, and there were no radiological consequences.
Iranian media reported a drone attack on Isfahan later, while Israeli forces also hit a military installation in Shiraz. Defence systems were activated over Najafabad, and explosions were reported in Malard. Attacks on Tehran and other cities have been claimed by Israel.
The Iranian army said that dozens of drones had been launched towards Israel, with most hitting their targets. Iran’s armed forces threatened to strike shipments of military aid to Israel, warning that any assistance would be considered a legitimate target.
German newspaper Bild reported that Israel’s foreign minister claimed that attacks on Iran have delayed the country’s prospects of creating a nuclear bomb by “at least two or three years”. Explosions were heard above Tel Aviv, where buildings were seen on fire. A spokesperson for Yemen’s Houthi group threatened to attack US ships in the Red Sea.
According to Israeli authorities, at least five people were killed in Iranian attacks, while Israel claimed to have shot down approximately 40 drones launched from Iran. The head of Qom province’s intelligence police said that 22 people had been arrested on charges of being connected to the Zionist regime’s spy services.
Protests took place in Berlin, London, and Stockholm in support of Gaza and against Israeli actions. Iranian President spoke with French counterpart, warning of a “more devastating” retaliation should Israel’s bombing campaign continue. Diplomatic efforts are underway to address the crisis, but tensions remain high between Iran and Israel.
