Fresh Israeli strikes on Iran; explosions reported in Tehran

Israel has launched fresh airstrikes targeting Iran’s military and nuclear sites, including locations linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Iran’s Fars News Agency confirmed explosions near the Fordow nuclear facility, located around 32 kilometers northeast of Qom and buried 100 meters underground. Israeli forces said operations continue against Iran’s drone and missile infrastructure.
Reports indicate that over 200 Israeli fighter jets struck more than 100 Iranian sites early Friday, including nuclear plants, ballistic missile factories, air defense systems, and top officials' residences. The attack killed at least 78 people, including 20 senior commanders such as Major General Mohammad Bagheri and IRGC leaders.
In retaliation, Iran launched nearly 100 drones toward Israel, most of which were intercepted. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and President Masoud Pezeshkian vowed severe revenge. Israel claims its air and naval defenses neutralized the threats, including a missile launched from Yemen.

Shuddering thoughts. The Orange monster was entertaining for a while, but the prospect of WWIII is not funny, for anyone on the planet....
This Nettoyahoo guy just wants to cling on to power somehow.

President Donald Trump told Reuters in a phone interview on Friday that it was unclear if Iran still has a nuclear programme following Israeli strikes on the country.
"Nobody knows. It was a very devastating hit," Trump said.
Israel said it had targeted Iran's nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders at the start of what it warned would be a prolonged operation to prevent Tehran from building an atomic weapon.
Trump told Reuters the US still has nuclear talks planned with Iran on Sunday but that he was unsure they would take place. He said it was not too late for Iran to make a deal.
US special envoy Steve Witkoff is scheduled to meet an Iranian delegation in Oman on Sunday, but the Israeli attacks have raised doubts on whether the session will still take place.
Trump had initially worked to delay an Israeli attack to give diplomacy more time. But he said he had given the Iranians 60 days "and today is 61."
"They're not dead," Trump said of the US-Iran talks. "We have a meeting with them on Sunday. Now, I’m not sure if that meeting will take place, but we have a meeting with them on Sunday."
Trump said he was fully aware of Israel's plans for the attack.
The president had convened his top national security advisers at Camp David on Sunday night for what he said were discussions that included Iran and he spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday about Iran.
"We knew everything, and I tried to save Iran humiliation and death. I tried to save them very hard because I would have loved to have seen a deal worked out. They can still work out a deal however, it’s not too late," he said.
He said he was not concerned about a regional war breaking out as a result of Israel's strikes.
Asked if the United States would support Israel against Iranian counterattacks, Trump said he supports Israel.
“We’ve been very close to Israel," he said. "We’re their number one ally by far."
"We'll see what happens," he said.

"I leave the American position to the Americans. We updated them ahead of time. They knew about the attack. What will they do now? I leave that to President (Donald) Trump. He makes his decisions independently," Netanyahu said in a recorded video message.
"I am not going to speak for him (Trump). He does that very convincingly and assertively. He said that Iran cannot have nuclear weapons, they cannot have enrichment capabilities."

Gulf countries on Friday unanimously condemned Israel's strikes on Iran, fearing an escalation that could threaten economic interests and security.
"Gulf states are very much caught between a rock and a hard place," Sanam Vakil, director of the Chatham House think-tank's Middle East and North Africa Programme told AFP.
While "they are quietly applauding the further weakening of Iran they face real risks and have to play their cards carefully", she said.
Their close ties to Israel's protector Washington, which maintains military bases in the region, and their proximity to Iran -- and its missiles -- pose risks.
Vakil said that "Saudi diplomats are distancing themselves from Israel and condemning the strikes as a means to stay out of this conflict".
The unfolding situation is playing out against a recent diplomatic rapprochement Riyadh has been building with Tehran ever since China in 2023 brokered an agreement aiming to restore ties.
"This is a notable difference with the situation that prevailed in the region 10 years ago, when Saudi Arabia was sort of inciting the United States to strike Iran, calling it the 'head of the snake'," said Karim Bitar, a lecturer in Middle Eastern studies at Paris's Sciences Po university.
Indeed, as Tehran reeled from Israel's attacks and planned retaliation, Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan called his Iranian counterpart and "stressed the importance of dialogue to address disputes".
Stability at risk
"Gulf countries realise that this Israeli attack will jeopardise their economic interests as well as the entire stability" of the region, Bitar said.
That is a major preoccupation of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has been focusing on economic growth, giga-projects at home and diversification away from oil.
During Donald Trump's first US presidency, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates had pushed for a stronger stance against Iran.
Gulf countries supported Trump's decision to pull the United States out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
But Gulf sentiment began to change after the United States failed to provide significant backing following attacks blamed on Tehran, analysts said.
A 2019 attack -- claimed by Yemen's Huthis but blamed by Riyadh and Washington on Tehran -- hit Saudi Arabia's Abqaiq processing plant and Khurais oil field, temporarily halving the kingdom's crude output. Tehran denied involvement.
The UAE too has been targeted by attacks from the Huthis that hit Abu Dhabi in 2022.
Seeking to avert attacks by Iran and its proxies, especially as they host US bases that could become targets in the wake of a broader conflict, Gulf monarchies have pursued a detente.
"The greatest concern in the Gulf now will be to what extent the United States will have to rely on their bases to assist in the defence of Israel," said Middle East analyst Andreas Krieg.
US 'red line'
While Trump's administration has distanced itself from Israel's operation, it has warned Iran not to hit US targets in the Middle East.
"It has... drawn a firm red line, warning that any attacks on US personnel or military installations will provoke a response," Vakil said.
She added, however, that "for now, Iran is unlikely to target Gulf infrastructure or assets".
The leaders of Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar last month had urged Trump, as he visited the region, to not order US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities and to pursue a deal instead, according to the US news outlet Axios.
"The Gulf states had hoped that Trump would show strong leadership and would contain (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu's neo-conservative tendencies to escalate," said Krieg.
Negotiations on Iran's nuclear programme had been going on between Washington and Tehran, although with little headway.
Oman had been readying to host a sixth round of talks on Sunday, before Israel's attack threw that into doubt.
For Bitar, the Israeli strikes seemed to be trying to "torpedo" the US-Iran talks.
"What will be the US reaction? Will they maintain their blind and unconditional support for Israel, or will they try to go back to the negotiating table and reach a new deal?" he asked.
