Iran Targets Multiple Sites in Israel after US Attack
Iran's armed forces said Sunday they targeted multiple sites in Israel including Ben Gurion airport, after US attacks on key nuclear sites in Iran.
"The twentieth wave of Operation Honest Promise 3 began using a combination of long-range liquid and solid fuel missiles with devastating warhead power," the armed forces said in a statement quoted by Fars news agency.
The targets included the airport, a "biological research center,' logistics bases and various layers of command and control centres, it added.
The Iranian missiles wounded 16 in Israel, the Magen David Adom rescue service said.
Several buildings were also damaged.
Shortly after the Iranian missile barrage, Israel announced its warplanes were conducting strikes on 'military targets' in western Iran.
The United States attacked three sites in Iran early Sunday.
Iran's Foreign Ministry said Washington had 'betrayed diplomacy' with the military strikes in support of Israel, and said now 'the US has itself launched a dangerous war against Iran.'

They only understand the language of threat and force," Araghchi said, adding that Tehran has to respond based on its rights before diplomacy can be reconsidered. The Iranian foreign minister said he will fly to Russia, with whom Iran has a strategic partnership, and consult with President Vladimir Putin on Monday.

Israel, US crossed ‘very big red line' with attack: Iranian FM
ISTANBUL: The US and Israel crossed a major red line in attacking Iran's nuclear facilities, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday, just hours after a US strike on its nuclear facilities. 'There is no red line that they have not crossed. And the last one, and the most dangerous one, happened only last night. They crossed a very big red line by attacking nuclear facilities,' he said. Araghchi also said that he would travel to Moscow for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday following the US strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. 'I'm going to Moscow this afternoon' and will hold 'serious consultations with the Russian president tomorrow' morning, Araghchi said at a press conference in Istanbul on the sidelines of an OIC summit.
