Israel Attacks Iran's Nuclear Facilities: Live Updates
Israel launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran's nuclear program and military leadership overnight, killing the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and striking dozens of targets in an operation that pushes the region into a new conflict with uncertain consequences. Dozens of planes wrapped up the first wave of the attack before dawn Friday, Israel said. Iranian state TV reported explosions and showed smoke rising in the capital, Tehran. The wave of strikes comes just days before U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff was to meet his Iranian counterparts for a sixth round of nuclear talks. The U.S. has said Iran must give up the ability to enrich uranium needed to build a bomb. Iran has refused, leaving the talks at an impasse. Iranian state media said IRGC commander Hossein Salami was killed by an Israeli strike in Tehran, an attack on the country's top leadership. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his defense minister, Israel Katz, decided Monday that the attack would begin Friday local time, an Israeli security official said. Netanyahu said the military operation would last 'as many days as it takes.' Katz declared a state of emergency and warned that Iran was expected to retaliate. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. wasn't involved in the strikes and warned Iran not to target U.S. forces. Netanyahu raised the possibility of strikes with President Trump in a phone conversation Monday, according to two U.S. officials. Soon after, the U.S. began moving some diplomats and military dependents out of the Middle East. Oil prices climbed after the attack, and stock futures tied to all three major U.S. indexes fell Thursday evening.

What to know about Iran's nuclear sites
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel attacked multiple Iranian nuclear and military sites on Friday as tensions reached new heights over Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear program. Israeli leaders said the attack was necessary to head off what they claimed was an imminent threat that Iran would build nuclear bombs. Iran long has insisted its program is peaceful and U.S. intelligence agencies have assessed that Tehran was not actively pursuing the bomb. The attack came one day after the International Atomic Energy Agency's Board of Governors censured Iran for the first time in 20 years for not working with its inspectors. Iran immediately announced it would establish a third enrichment site in the country and swap out some centrifuges for more-advanced ones. The U.S. and Iran had been in talks that could have resulted in the U.S. lifting some of its crushing economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for Tehran drastically limiting or ending its enrichment of uranium. Here's a look at some major Iranian sites and their importance in Tehran's program. Natanz enrichment facility Iran's nuclear facility at Natanz, located some 220 kilometers (135 miles) southeast of Tehran, is the country's main enrichment site. Part of the facility on Iran's Central Plateau is underground to defend against potential airstrikes. It operates multiple cascades, or groups of centrifuges working together to more quickly enrich uranium. Iran also is burrowing into the Kūh-e Kolang Gaz Lā, or Pickax Mountain, which is just beyond Natanz's southern fencing. Natanz has been targeted by the Stuxnet virus, believed to be an Israeli and American creation, which destroyed Iranian centrifuges. Two separate sabotage attacks, attributed to Israel, also have struck the facility. Fordo enrichment facility Iran's nuclear facility at Fordo is located some 100 kilometers (60 miles) southwest of Tehran. It also hosts centrifuge cascades, but isn't as big a facility as Natanz. Buried under a mountain and protected by anti-aircraft batteries, Fordo appears designed to withstand airstrikes. Its construction began at least in 2007, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency, although Iran only informed the U.N. nuclear watchdog about the facility in 2009 after the U.S. and allied Western intelligence agencies became aware of its existence. Bushehr nuclear power plant Iran's only commercial nuclear power plant is in Bushehr on the Persian Gulf, some 750 kilometers (465 miles) south of Tehran. Construction on the plant began under Iran's Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in the mid-1970s. After the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the plant was repeatedly targeted in the Iran-Iraq war. Russia later completed construction of the facility. Iran is building two other reactors like it at the site. Bushehr is fueled by uranium produced in Russia, not Iran, and is monitored by the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency. Arak heavy water reactor The Arak heavy water reactor is 250 kilometers (155 miles) southwest of Tehran. Heavy water helps cool nuclear reactors, but it produces plutonium as a byproduct that can potentially be used in nuclear weapons. That would provide Iran another path to the bomb beyond enriched uranium, should it choose to pursue the weapon. Iran had agreed under its 2015 nuclear deal with world powers to redesign the facility to relieve proliferation concerns. Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center The facility in Isfahan, some 350 kilometers (215 miles) southeast of Tehran, employs thousands of nuclear scientists. It also is home to three Chinese research reactors and laboratories associated with the country's atomic program. Tehran Research Reactor The Tehran Research Reactor is at the headquarters of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, the civilian body overseeing the country's atomic program. The U.S. actually provided Iran the reactor in 1967 as part of America's 'Atoms for Peace' program during the Cold War. It initially required highly enriched uranium but was later retrofitted to use low-enriched uranium over proliferation concerns. ___ The Associated Press receives support for nuclear security coverage from the Carnegie Corporation of New York and Outrider Foundation.

Crowd protests conditions inside ICE detention center in Newark
A small crowd of protesters gathered outside Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, on Thursday to demonstrate over allegations of poor conditions at the immigration detention center. One woman whose husband was housed inside the center told CBS News New York that a fight broke out at lunch because the prisoners had allegedly not been fed for about 20 hours, and then were only given a small amount of food. A small crowd of people gathered outside Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, on June 12, 2025, angry over alleged poor conditions at the immigration detention center. Chopper 2 "He said for that reason, a small group of people had started to rile up and started to riot. He said they were breaking things, just trying to get anybody's attention because they are constantly ignored. I asked my husband what was his role and part in it, and he said, 'I'm hiding. I'm scared for my life,'" the woman said. Protesters said the prisoners were also angry over visitation hours. CBS News New York reached out to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Newark Police Department, but has not yet heard back. Delaney Hall was the site of a protest last month that resulted in the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka by ICE agents on federal trespassing charges. Baraka has since filed a lawsuit over the arrest. The mayor has claimed the 1,000-bed facility opened without the necessary permits and blocked inspections. The Department of Homeland Security has denied those allegations. Earlier this year, ICE signed a 15-year, $60 million contract with the private prison company, Geo Group, to run Delaney Hall. Stay with for the latest on this developing story.
