Israel says conducted 'extensive strikes' in Iran's west
Israel's military said Tuesday it conducted "several extensive strikes" on military targets in western Iran overnight, as the arch-foes traded fire for a fifth straight day.
"During the strikes, dozens of surface-to-surface missile storage and launch infrastructure were struck," the military said in a statement.
"In addition, surface-to-air missile launchers and UAV storage sites were struck in western Iran," it added.

Despite growing calls for the longtime foes to end hostilities, neither Israel nor Iran showed any signs of cutting short the missile blitz kicked off Friday, when Israel launched an unprecedented series of aerial raids targeting Iranian nuclear and military facilities.
After a new wave of Israeli strikes on Iran's capital -- including a dramatic attack on a state TV building -- both countries activated their missile defence systems overnight, with Israel's army briefly urging residents to seek shelter from incoming Iranian missiles.

Video: Israel Destroys Iran's 'Mock-up' F-14 Tomcats Jets
Israel has released footage showing the aftermath of a strike on an airfield near Tehran, claiming it destroyed two operational F-14 Tomcat fighter jets. Iran dismissed the claim, saying the destroyed aircraft were mere mock-ups. The dramatic video, shared by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), shows the twin-engine fighter jets erupting in flames after being hit by Israeli drone strikes. "These jets were intended to intercept Israeli aircraft," the IDF wrote alongside the footage on X. RECAP of Our Recent Operations Over Tehran: ???? Strike on two F-14 fighter jets that were located at an airport in Tehran. These jets were intended to intercept Israeli aircraft. ❌ Thwarted a UAV launch attempt toward Israel. ???? Eliminated a launch cell minutes before launch… — Israel Defense Forces (@IDF) June 16, 2025 The F-14 Tomcat, an iconic American fighter jet made famous by the film Top Gun, has been out of service in the US since 2006. Iran has kept a portion of its fleet flying since acquiring 80 of the jets in the 1970s during the reign of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, prior to the 1979 Islamic Revolution. To this day, Iran remains the only country outside the US to have operated the F-14. Estimates suggest that about 40 to 42 Tomcats remain in Iran's inventory. Still, defence analysts cited by Defense Blog believe the aircraft destroyed in the Israeli strike were likely non-operational and had been grounded for years. The airstrike, described by the Israeli military as part of a preemptive operation, was confirmed by IDF spokesperson Brig General Effie Defrin during a Monday press briefing. The F-14s were a critical asset for Iran during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq War. Equipped with AWG-9 radar and AIM-54 Phoenix missiles, the jets were used to intercept Iraqi bombers, defend strategic oil infrastructure, and provide early warning for other defence systems. Despite a US arms embargo, Iran managed to keep its fleet functional through various covert means. Reports suggest Iran obtained spare parts via the Iran-Contra affair and through front companies in the early 2000s. US defence officials told the Associated Press that key components such as hydraulics, guidance systems, and ammunition drums were sought through black-market channels. Even when unarmed, the presence of an F-14 in the skies was reportedly enough to deter Iraqi pilots from engaging. With the ageing fleet becoming increasingly difficult to maintain, Iran has turned to Russia to modernise its air force. Tehran recently confirmed the purchase of Su-35 fighter jets from Moscow, though the exact number remains undisclosed. The latest airstrike comes as hostilities between Israel and Iran entered their fifth day. At least 224 people have died in Iran and 13 in Israel since June 13.

China Suggests US Should Help Ease Tensions Between Israel, Iran
China suggested the US use its influence with Israel to stop the conflict with Iran from spilling over, a sign Beijing is becoming increasingly concerned about the stability of a region it relies on for energy supplies. 'China calls on all parties concerned, especially those that have a special influence over Israel, to shoulder their due responsibilities and take immediate measures to cool the tensions and prevent the conflict from expanding,' Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a regular press briefing in Beijing on Tuesday. The comment amplified one that Foreign Minister Wang Yi made to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Saturday. China's worries about the conflict spreading are partly linked to energy supplies: around two-thirds of its crude imports come from the Middle East. Wang, who has condemned Israel's attack, also told Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar the same day that diplomatic means should be used to resolve the situation. He told both Israel and Iran that China was ready to help de-escalate the situation. Iran and Israel continue to attack each other, prompting fears the war will spread to other countries. US President Donald Trump left the Group of Seven leaders meeting in Canada early to deal with the conflict but has played down the chances of a ceasefire. The American president has also kept his options open. As well as urging Iran to accept a deal that restricts its nuclear activities in return for sanctions relief, he has maintained a vague stance on whether the US might intervene offensively. For now, the US says its only helping Israel defend against Iran's missile and drone salvos. With assistance from Yongchang Chin.

Why Israel Can't Destroy Iran's Fordow Nuclear Site
Over the last few days, Israel has targeted multiple nuclear facilities in Iran but at least one major site remains: the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, a heavily shielded base buried deep beneath a mountain. Built to withstand airstrikes, experts now say that only the United States has the firepower to destroy it. While Israel has previously stunned Western intelligence with its covert operations and military reach, experts cited by The NY Post say there is no evidence it has weapons strong enough to breach Fordow's defences. What Is Iran's Fordow? The Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant is one of Iran's most secretive and heavily protected nuclear facilities. Hidden beneath a mountain near the village of Fordow, over 30 km from Qom and 160 km from Tehran, the site was designed to resist airstrikes and foreign interference. The location was originally part of a missile base controlled by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Construction Of The Fordow Plant Iran began constructing Fordow in the early 2000s under the clandestine "Amad Plan," which aimed to develop nuclear weapons. For years, its existence was hidden from global watchdogs. In 2009, Western intelligence agencies exposed the plant, which then led Iran to officially disclose it to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). At the time, the revelation raised serious global concerns about Iran's nuclear ambitions. Why Is Fordow So Hard To Hit? What makes Fordow so formidable is its depth. It lies between 80 and 300 feet underground. This puts it far beyond the reach of conventional bombs and even advanced Israeli munitions. The facility was originally built to hold about 3,000 IR-1 centrifuges, arranged in two separate sections. The base is now protected by surface-to-air missiles, including Russia's S-300 system, and has been reinforced to survive sustained bombardment. "Tehran has made sure the facility can survive airstrike attacks, making Fordow a much harder target than the other facilities that have been hit through the years," said Nicholas Carl, a research manager at the American Enterprise Institute's Critical Threats Project, as per The NY Post. Fordow's Role In Iran's Nuclear Programme Under the 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA), Fordow was to be repurposed for peaceful scientific use, like isotope production and enrichment activity was halted. After the US withdrew from the agreement in 2018, Iran resumed enrichment at Fordow. As of 2025, roughly 2,000 centrifuges, including advanced IR-6 models, are operational at the site, enriching uranium up to 60 per cent purity, dangerously close to the 90 per cent threshold required for a nuclear weapon. Fordow is now seen as Iran's last and most critical enrichment stronghold. According to experts, it produces an estimated 166 kg of 60 per cent enriched uranium every three months, enough, if further enriched, to potentially make up to four nuclear bombs. Despite repeated attacks on other Iranian nuclear sites, Fordow has remained untouched. What Israel Said Israeli officials consider the destruction of Fordow vital to stopping Iran's nuclear ambitions. "The entire operation... really has to be completed with the elimination of Fordow," Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter said recently, as per Axios. Only the US is believed to have the weapons capable of taking it out. The GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), a 15-ton "bunker buster," is likely the only bomb with the power to reach Fordow's core. Israel, so far, does not appear to possess such capabilities. "Israel can damage key Iranian nuclear facilities, but Israel can't destroy hardened sites like Fordow without US military assistance," said Kelsey Davenport, director for nonproliferation policy at the Arms Control Association, as per The Washington Post.
