Iran will pay 'very heavy price' for targeting Israeli civilians: Netanyahu
This is the message we spread to Iranian citizens. While Iran chooses to strike without warning, we choose to warn a innocent people even if it means giving up the element of surprise.
We warn them, in Persian, across many channels.
Because human life comes first to us. That's… https://t.co/ThgdrKMpSx

Israel pounds Iran for third night, Tehran claims 224 killed, including generals
Israel and Iran continued to exchange missile strikes between Sunday night and early Monday, ignoring international appeals for a ceasefire as hostilities entered their third consecutive accused Israel of targeting its oil refineries and killing the intelligence chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) along with two other senior generals. Iran also said several population centres were hit in the latest wave of to Iranian health officials, the death toll since the Israeli offensive began on Friday has climbed to 224, with 1,277 others injured. Authorities did not specify how many of the casualties were civilians or military personnel. Israel, targeting Iran's nuclear infrastructure and military leadership, said Tehran has launched more than 270 missiles since Friday. While most were intercepted by Israel's multi-layered air defence system, 22 managed to breach the shield, hitting residential suburbs, killing 14 people, and injuring 390 others, according to news agency Associated DEVELOPMENTS IN ISRAEL-IRAN CONFLICT Air raid sirens blared across Jerusalem late on Sunday, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirming "Iranian missiles incoming". Several videos captured the dramatic scene: missiles streaking over Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, many intercepted mid-air by Israel's multi-layered defence system. advertisement In swift retaliation, Israel reportedly struck back with targeted airstrikes on Iranian positions, prompting Iran to activate its air defence systems in the southwest, according to local media. Claiming near-total freedom in Iranian airspace, Israel said its Sunday strikes targeted Iran's Defense Ministry, missile launch sites, and factories making air defence components. Iran acknowledged the strikes killed more top generals, including Revolutionary Guard intelligence chief Brigadier General Mohammad Kazemi and his deputy, General Hassan Mohaqiq. In a striking revelation of how far Israel was willing to escalate, a US official told the Associated Press that US President Donald Trump blocked an Israeli plan to assassinate Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei — the country's highest authority, who holds sweeping powers over state policy, the military, and the elite Revolutionary Guard. Meanwhile, India is closely monitoring the security situation in Iran and engaging with its citizens and students residing in the conflict-torn Middle East country. "In some cases, students are being relocated with Embassy's facilitation to safer places within Iran. Other feasible options are also under examination. Further updates will follow. Separately, the Embassy is in touch with community leaders regarding welfare and safety," the Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said. Israeli strikes have gone beyond Iran's military sites, hitting government buildings and key infrastructure, Iranian authorities said. Among the latest targets were the Foreign Ministry and several energy facilities, including the Shahran oil depot north of Tehran and a fuel tank to the south, both of which caught fire on Sunday. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh and other diplomats posted photos of the Foreign Ministry's office and library, riddled with shrapnel. advertisementIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed mounting international calls for de-escalation, insisting Tel Aviv will pursue its military objectives. Speaking to Fox News, Netanyahu suggested that regime change in Iran "could certainly be the result" of the ongoing conflict. He also alleged that Israeli intelligence had uncovered Iranian plans to transfer nuclear weapons to Houthi rebels in Yemen. Iran's state TV aired harrowing scenes from downtown Tehran, showing men and women pulling bloodied, dust-covered children from the rubble of residential buildings struck by Israeli missiles. Iranian Health Ministry spokesperson Hossein Kermanpour claimed that 90% of the 224 people killed on Sunday were civilians. advertisement Early Sunday, Israel's Magen David Adom emergency service said at least six people — including a 10-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl — were killed when a missile struck a high-rise apartment in Bat Yam, just south of Tel Aviv. A local police commander told Associated Press that 180 others were wounded and seven remained missing. Residents, dazed and dust-covered, picked through the rubble to salvage belongings as rescue teams combed through mangled steel and broken glass in search of more bodies. Israel launched the offensive with a surprise strike on Friday, killing top Iranian military commanders and damaging nuclear facilities. Iran has vowed to "open the gates of hell" in retaliation. Iran has also reportedly threatened to target the US, the UK and French military bases and ships in the region if they attempted to block Iranian strikes on Israel, news agency Reuters reported. Meanwhile, Donald Trump praised Israel's military offensive against Iran while denying Tehran's claims of direct American involvement. He warned Iran against expanding its retaliation to hit US targets. However, two US officials confirmed to the Associated Press that American forces helped intercept Iranian missiles aimed at Israel during Friday's barrage. Tune InMust Watch

Iran renews missile attacks on Israel, hitting several buildings and wounding dozens of people
Iran launched a new wave of missile attacks on Israel early Monday (June 16, 2025), triggering air raid sirens across the country as emergency services reported projectiles striking and shrapnel falling in Israel's north and center, wounding at least 67 people. Powerful explosions, likely from Israel's defense systems intercepting Iranian missiles, rocked Tel Aviv shortly before dawn, ushering in a fourth day of open warfare between the regional foes. Plumes of black smoke rose into the sky over the major coastal city. Authorities in the central Israeli city of Petah Tikva near Tel Aviv said that Iranian missiles had hit a residential building there, charring concrete walls, blowing out windows and heavily damaging multiple apartments. There was no immediate word on the number of casualties from that strike as rescuers searched through the ruins. Israel's Magen David Adom emergency service said it was treating 67 wounded people evacuated from four different places hit by missile strikes. It said most of the people were in moderate or mild condition. Iranian state TV said the country fired at least 100 missiles at Israel, signaling that it had no intention of yielding to international calls for de-escalation as it pressed on with its retaliation for Israel's surprise attack Friday on Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear program and military leadership. The latest salvo comes after a weekend of escalating tit-for-tat attacks between Israel and Iran that raised fears of a wider, more dangerous regional war. Iran on Sunday said Israel struck oil refineries, killed the intelligence chief of the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard and hit population centers in intensive aerial attacks that raised the death toll from Israel's campaign to 224 people. Health authorities also reported that 1,277 were wounded, without distinguishing between military officials and civilians. Israel said Iran had fired over 270 missiles since Friday, 22 of which slipped through the country's sophisticated multi-tiered air defenses and caused havoc in residential suburbs, killing 14 people and wounding 390 others as of late Sunday.
