Israel targets Iran's Defense Ministry headquarters as Tehran unleashes deadly missile strike

Dubai, United Arab Emirates (AP) – Israel launched an extensive attack on Iran on Sunday, with the direct strikes targeting the headquarters of the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Defense, while Tehran launched a new rocket of missiles for the death of four people.

Calmical strikes represent the latest Sulfo since a sudden attack by Israel two days ago aimed at eliminating the nuclear program, which is rapidly advancing in Tehran.

New explosions flourished throughout Tehran when Iranian missiles entered the sky of Israel in an attack that Israeli emergency officials said that four people were killed in a residential building in the Galilee area. The figures of injuries were not immediately available in Iran, as Israel targeted the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense in Tehran, as well as the sites that it claimed to be linked to the country’s nuclear program. The Iranian semi -military revolutionary guards claimed that Iranian missiles targeted fuel production facilities for Israeli fighting aircraft, something that Israel did not recognize.

In the midst of the ongoing conflict, the planned negotiations between Iran and the United States on Tehran’s nuclear program were canceled, which are from when and how the end of the fighting could come.

“Tehran is burning,” said Israel Defense Minister Israel Katz on social media.

Both military television and Israeli Iran announced the latest round of Iranian missiles, where explosions were heard near the middle of the night, while the Israeli security cabinet met.

Israel has left the continuous strikes of Iran throughout Iran the rest of the country through the difficult decision on whether it would drowse deeper into the conflict with the most powerful Israeli forces or search by a diplomatic way.

Urgent invitations to get rid of

World leaders made urgent calls to abandon and avoid a comprehensive war. The Chinese Foreign Minister said that the attack on the nuclear sites put a “dangerous precedent.” The region is already on the edge of the abyss, as Israel is pushing a new to eliminate the Hamas group supported by the Iranian in Gaza after 20 months of fighting.

Israel-which is widely believed to be the only nuclear armed state in the Middle East-said hundreds of strikes on Iran over the past two days have killed a number of senior generals, and nine major scientists and experts participating in the Iranian nuclear program. The Iranian Ambassador said that 78 people were killed and more than 320 wounded.

US intelligence agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency repeatedly said that Iran is not following a nuclear weapon before Israel launched its campaign from the air strikes targeting Iran starting from Friday.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who destroyed the Iranian nuclear program, said his maximum priority, that Israel’s strikes so far “nothing compared to what they will feel under the influence of our forces in the coming days.”

In what could be another escalation if confirmed, the semi -official Iranian news agencies reported the presence of an Israeli drone that caused a “strong explosion” in the Iranian natural gas processing factory. The first Israeli attack on Iranian oil and natural gas will be. The Israeli army did not comment immediately.

The extent of damage to the natural gas field in a prominent south was not immediately clear. Such sites have air defense systems around them, which were targeted by Israel.

Iran calls on nuclear talks “unjustified”

Al -Waseet Amman said that the sixth round of indirect talks in the United States, Iran on Sunday, on the nuclear program of Iran, will not take place. “We are still committed to conversations and we hope that the Iranians will come to the table soon,” said a senior US official, who speaks, provided that his identity is not disclosed to discuss diplomacy.

Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only, and US intelligence agencies evaluated that Tehran was not actively following the bomb. However, his enrichment in uranium arrived near levels of weapons, and on Thursday, the United Nations atomic control authority monitored Iran for not compliance with the obligations aimed at preventing it from developing a nuclear weapon.

Iran’s best diplomat said on Saturday that the nuclear talks were “unjustified” after Israel’s strikes. Abbas Aragici’s comments came during a call with Kaga Callas, the best European Union diplomat.

Aragchi said in a statement by the state -run news agency IRNA. The United States said it is not part of the strikes.

On Friday, US President Donald Trump urged Iran to reach an agreement with the United States on its nuclear program, adding that “Iran should conclude a deal, before there is nothing.”

We help to shoot down Iranian missiles

Iran launched the first missile waves in Israel late on Friday and early Saturday. Israel said the attacks killed at least three people and wounded 174, two of them seriously. The army said that seven soldiers were slightly wounded when the Israel missile was hit in the middle, without specifying a place.

A US official said, on the condition that his identity is not disclosed to discuss the measures.

The main international airport of Israel said it would remain closed until further notice.

“More than a few weeks” to repair nuclear facilities

Pictures taken on Saturday by Planet Labs PBC show multiple buildings damaged or destroyed. The structures achieved by the buildings identified by experts include energy saving to the facility.

Raphael Grossi, head of the United Nations Security Council, stated that the above part of the Natanz facility has been destroyed. He said that the main centrifugal facility was unprecedented, but the loss of power could have damaged infrastructure there.

Israel said it also struck a nuclear research facility in contented two, including “infrastructure for the conversion of enriched uranium”, and said it had destroyed dozens of radar facilities and surface missile launchers in western Iran. Iran confirmed the strike in my conversion.

The International Atomic Energy Agency said that four “important buildings” at the Salahan site had been damaged, including the uranium conversion facility. “As in Natanz, there is no increase in radiation outside the expected site,” she added.

An Israeli military official, a speaker, said, provided that his identity is not disclosed in line with the official measures, that, according to the initial evaluation of the army, “it will take more than a few weeks” to Iran to repair the damage to the nuclear sites Natanz and Safhan. The official said that the army had “concrete intelligence that production in two sins was for military purposes.”

Israel denied that it had struck the nuclear enrichment facility in Fordo, about 100 km (60 miles) southeast of Tehran.
