Israel unleashed air strikes through Iran For a third day, Sunday and threatened even greater force when some Iranian missiles escaped the Israeli air defenses to hit buildings in the heart of the country. The interviews provided for on the Iranian nuclear program, which could provide an out of the ramp ramp have been canceled.
Israel’s strikes killed at least 406 people in Iran and injured 654 others, according to a human rights group that has long followed the country, human rights activists based in Washington. The Iranian government has not offered global figures.
The region has prepared for an prolonged conflict after the surprise bombardment of Israel on Friday of Iranian nuclear and military sites killed several nuclear generals and scientists. None of the two parties showed a backup sign.
Iran said that Israel had struck two oil refineries, raising a broader attack on the strongly sanctioned Iran energy industry that could affect global markets. The Israeli army, in a social media position, warned the Iranians to evacuate arms factories, signaling an additional enlargement of the campaign.
Israel, the only state with a nuclear arm not declared in the Middle East, said it launched the attack to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. The two countries have been opponents for decades.
The explosions have shaken the Iranian capital, Tehran, around noon and still around 3.30 p.m., the sirens took off a large part of Israel around 4 p.m., warning of the first day assault of Iran since the start of the fighting.
Israel said 14 people had been killed there since Friday and 390 injured. Iran pulled more than 270 missiles, 22 of which crossed the country’s aerial defenses, according to Israeli figures. International airport and Israel’s airspace remained closed for a third day.
The Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abbas Araghchi, said that if the strikes of Israel at the Iranian stop, then “our answers will also stop”. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian criticized the United States for supporting Israel and said that if Israel’s “hostile actions” continue, “the answers will be more decisive and severe,” reported state television.
President Donald Trump said that the United States “had nothing to do with the attack” and that Iran can not avoid more destruction than by accepting a new nuclear agreement.
Israeli strikes targeted the Iranian Ministry of Defense early on Sunday after reaching air defenses, military bases and sites associated with its nuclear program. The murder of several superior generals and nuclear scientists in targeted strikes indicated that Israeli intelligence has penetrated Iran from the highest levels.
Israel said that he had attacked an Iranian refueling plane in Mashhad in the northeast, calling the most distant strike that the army had still made. Iran immediately recognized any attack. The video obtained and verified by the Associated Press showed that smoke rising from the city.
The Iranian Foreign Minister said that Israel was aimed at an oil refinery near Tehran and another in a Persian Gulf province. The semi-official Iranian press agencies reported that a strike of Israeli drones caused a “strong explosion” in a plant for treatment for Iranian natural gas in the natural gas gas field.
Human rights activists said his count showed at least 197 civilians and 90 army members had been killed across Iran. The group checks local reports against a network of local sources.

The number of deaths increases in Israel
In Israel, at least six people, including a 10 -year -old child and a 9 -year -old child, were killed when a missile struck a building of buildings in Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv. Daniel Hadad, a local police commander, said 180 people had been injured and seven disappeared.
Four other people, including a 13 -year -old child, were killed and 24 injured when a missile struck a building in the Arab city of Tamra in northern Israel. A strike on the central city of Rehovot injured 42.
The Weizmann Institute of Science, an important research center in Rehovot, reported “a certain number of successes in buildings on campus”. He said no one was injured.
An oil refinery was damaged in the Israeli city in northern Haifa, according to the company which operated it, which said that no one was injured.
Urgent calls to descenda
World leaders have made urgent calls to descend. The attack on nuclear sites created a “dangerous precedent,” the Chinese Foreign Minister said on Saturday. The region is already on board while Israel seeks to destroy Hamas, an Iranian ally, in the Gaza Strip, where war is still raging after the attack on October 7, 2023 of Hamas.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected such calls, saying that the strikes of Israel so far are “compared to what they will feel in the grip of our forces in the coming days”.
The Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gideon Sa’ar, told CNN that the objective “is not a change of regime”, adding that “it is for the Iranian people to decide”.
Iran has always declared that its nuclear program was peaceful and that the United States and others have evaluated that it had not been pursuing a weapon since 2003. But Iran has enriched larger stocks of uranium at levels close to the quality of weapons in recent years and would have the capacity to develop several weapons in a few months if it did.
The UN atomic watchdog published a rare censorship of Iran last week.
Iran calls “unjustifiable” nuclear conferences
The Iranian Foreign Minister called “unjustifiable” nuclear talks after the strikes of Israel.
A senior American official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive nuclear talks, said Washington has remained attached to them and hoped that the Iranians would return to the table.
In an article on social networks, Trump warned Iran that all reprisals directed against this would bring an American response “at levels never seen before”.
“However, we can easily conclude an agreement between Iran and Israel, and put an end to this bloody conflict !!!” He wrote.
“ Over a few weeks ” to repair nuclear installations
In Iran, satellite photos analyzed by AD have significant damage in the main nuclear enrichment installation of Iran in Natanz. The images taken on Saturday by Planet Labs PBC show several damaged or destroyed buildings. Structures struck include buildings identified by experts and providing energy to installation.
The UN nuclear chief, Rafael Grossi, told the Security Council that the section above the ground of the Natanz installation had been destroyed. The main underground centrifuge does not seem to be affected, but the loss of power could have damaged the infrastructure, he said.
Israel also struck a nuclear research installation in Isfahan. The International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations nuclear custody said that four “critical buildings” had been damaged, including the Isfahan uranium conversion installation. IAEA said there was no sign of radiation in Natanz or Isfahan.
An Israeli military official, speaking on condition of anonymity on Sunday in accordance with official procedures, said that it would be “several months, perhaps more” to restore the two sites.
