Iran's Health Ministry Says 224 People Have Been Killed Since Israel's Attack Began Friday
- Israel launched surprise airstrikes on Iran's nuclear and military sites starting Friday, killing over 224 people including top generals, scientists, and civilians.
- The attacks followed escalating hostilities and preceded planned U.S.-Iran nuclear talks, which were subsequently canceled amid ongoing bombardment.
- Israeli strikes destroyed key above-ground components at Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment site, while Iran claimed oil refineries were also targeted causing large fires visible in Tehran.
- Policy director Ryan Costello emphasized that Iran is unlikely to engage in nuclear deal talks while it is being attacked, calling instead for diplomacy focused on stopping the airstrikes and preventing U.S. involvement in the conflict.
- The strikes have disrupted U.S.-Iran negotiations and escalated tensions, with Iran responding through missile attacks on Israel, increasing concerns about the potential expansion of the conflict in the region.
