Iran Fires Two Batches of Missiles; Israeli Media Reports Extensive Damage - Jordan News
Iran launched two batches of missiles on Sunday morning targeting Israel, causing significant destruction at multiple sites, just hours after the U.S. Air Force struck three nuclear facilities in Iran. اضافة اعلان Israeli media reported that 15 people were injured in the Iranian missile attack, including two in critical condition. Sirens sounded across wide areas of northern and central Israel following the detection of Iranian missile launches. Israel Hayom newspaper estimated the Iranian attack involved about 30 missiles. The Israeli army radio announced that a missile fell in the city of Haifa before the sirens were activated. The radio also reported that missiles landed directly in several locations across Israel. It added that heavy damage occurred to several sites due to the missile impacts in the Greater Tel Aviv area, Haifa, and Ness Ziona. Israel Hayom cited fire authorities saying that several buildings were destroyed in the coastal area, a building was damaged in the Dan district, and a vehicle caught fire near a building in the central region. Airspace Closure Channel 12 reported that Israeli airspace was closed again until further notice. Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said the Israeli army raised its alert level toward Lebanon, anticipating any attempt by Hezbollah to launch an attack against Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the U.S. strike targeting Iranian nuclear facilities as "powerful" and "historic," praising U.S. President Donald Trump's decision. Although the strike on Iran was a U.S. decision and execution, Netanyahu said Trump did what no other country on earth could do, congratulating the president on his "bold" decision. In the early hours of Sunday, three prominent nuclear sites in Iran—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—were targeted by U.S. airstrikes. The Israeli army radio quoted Israeli officials as saying the likelihood that the Fordow facility was not destroyed after the attack is "very slim." The radio also confirmed that the United States carried out precise strikes to ensure the destruction of the Natanz nuclear facility in Iran. An Israeli source said Tel Aviv is awaiting satellite image analysis to assess the extent of the damage to Iranian nuclear sites, considering the damage appears significant. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said, "The world this morning is a better and safer place for Israel and the entire world," affirming that the war is not over yet and that people should pay attention to home front instructions. Since June 13, Israel, with U.S. support, has been conducting an offensive against Iran targeting nuclear facilities, missile bases, military commanders, and nuclear scientists. Tehran responded by launching ballistic missiles and drones towards deep inside Israel, marking the largest direct confrontation between the two sides amid rounds of negotiations between the United States and Iran regarding its nuclear program. – (Al Jazeera)

World reacts to US attack on Iran's nuclear facilities
The US launched coordinated airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities on Sunday, signaling a major escalation in the ongoing war between Iran and 'Israel'. US President Donald Trump, who ordered the attacks, addressed the nation in a televised speech from the White House, declaring, "Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace." The announcement triggered swift reactions from across the globe. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned the attacks as "outrageous" and warned of far-reaching consequences. "The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences," he posted on X, labeling the strikes as "lawless and criminal." He affirmed Iran's right to self-defense under the UN Charter and stressed that "Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people." Iran's Atomic Energy Organization also denounced the strikes, calling them 'a barbaric act that violates international law.' In a statement, the agency vowed to continue the country's nuclear development, calling it "the result of the blood of nuclear martyrs." 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the US action, calling it a historic turning point. "Your bold decision to target Iran's nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history," Netanyahu said in a video message addressed to Trump. He claimed the strikes fulfilled his long-standing pledge to neutralize Iran's nuclear program. Meanwhile, Hamas issued a strong rebuke, condemning the attack as a "blatant US aggression against the territory and sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran." The group called it "a dangerous escalation... a flagrant violation of international law, and a direct threat to international peace and security." UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed grave concern over what he described as a 'dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge.' He urged restraint, stating, "There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy. The only hope is peace." In Washington, the strikes sparked fierce criticism from political opponents. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries accused Trump of bypassing Congress and risking a wider war. "Donald Trump shoulders complete and total responsibility for any adverse consequences that flow from his unilateral military action," Jeffries said.
