Iran-Israel LIVE News Updates:Israel on Thursday carried out overnight strikes on Iran, targeting a reactor near Arak, a facility near Natanz, and areas close to the Khondab heavy-water research site, which are part of Iran’s nuclear programme, according to ISNA. In retaliation, Iran launched missiles that struck a medical building in Israel, damaging nearby apartments, AP reported. Following the attack, Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz said Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei “can no longer be allowed to exist,” accusing him of ordering strikes on hospitals and seeking Israel’s destruction, AFP reported. Meanwhile, around 100 Indian students evacuated from Iran arrived in Delhi under Operation Sindhu.
Death toll: According to AP, Israel’s air campaign has targeted several nuclear and military sites, killing senior generals and nuclear scientists. A Washington-based Iranian human rights group reported that at least 639 people have been killed in Iran, including 263 civilians, and over 1,300 injured. In retaliation, Iran has launched around 400 missiles and hundreds of drones, killing at least 24 people in Israel and wounding hundreds.
Trump remains undecided: US President Donald Trump has kept the world guessing about whether the United States will join Israel’s offensive against Iran, saying, “I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do.” He also claimed Iranian officials wanted to talk but added, “It’s a little late.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel was “progressing step by step” in dismantling Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure and thanked Trump for his support. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei rejected Trump’s call for surrender, warning that “any US military intervention will undoubtedly be accompanied by irreparable damage.”
