Israel targets Iran’s Defense Ministry headquarters as Tehran unleashes deadly missile strike
- On Friday and Saturday, Israel carried out widespread airstrikes against Iran’s nuclear and military targets, including strikes near Tehran and at the South Pars gas refinery, while Iran responded with missile and drone attacks targeting multiple Israeli population centers such as the areas around Tel Aviv and Haifa.
- The conflict escalated after Israeli strikes killed several top Iranian generals and scientists, prompting Iran's foreign minister to call nuclear talks with the U.S. unjustifiable and leading Iran to cancel scheduled negotiations in Oman.
- The exchanges caused significant casualties with nearly 80 Iranians killed and over 320 wounded, while three Israelis died and dozens were injured, and key Iranian infrastructure including the uranium-conversion facility at Isfahan suffered severe damage.
- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged both sides to halt attacks and pursue diplomacy, while regional leaders warned the escalation risks destabilizing the Middle East and oil prices surged 7 percent due to heightened tensions.
- The crisis has halted nuclear talks, intensified military threats with Israel promising more strikes, and triggered diplomatic efforts by global powers to de-escalate amid widespread concern about further regional chaos.
