Trump warns Iran against attacking
US President Donald Trump has warned Tehran of retaliation 'at levels never seen before' if it decides to attack America in any way amid the escalation between Iran and Israel. On Saturday, Fars News Agency reported, citing a source with access to the military leadership in Tehran, that the Iranian response to the IDF's strikes on the country 'will spread to all areas occupied by this [Israeli] regime and related US bases in the region in the coming days.' Tehran's ambassador to the UN, Amir Iravani, said earlier that the American support for West Jerusalem has made Washington complicit in Israeli aggression against Iran. Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Sunday to caution Tehran, saying 'if we are attacked in any way, shape or form by Iran, the full strength and might of the US Armed Forces will come down on you at levels never seen before.' The president insisted that 'the US had nothing to do with the attack on Iran tonight.' He also urged Tehran to return to diplomacy, claiming 'we can easily get a deal done between Iran and Israel, and end this bloody conflict.' The sixth round of nuclear talks between Washington and Tehran, which had been scheduled to take place in Oman on Sunday, was canceled after Israel hit multiple targets across Iran on Friday, including uranium enrichment sites, while also assassinating several senior military commanders and scientists. West Jerusalem described the attack as a preemptive measure aimed at stopping Tehran from acquiring a nuclear bomb. Iran, which has repeatedly denied pursuing a military nuclear program, said the airstrikes were tantamount to a declaration of war and responded by launching multiple volleys of ballistic missiles at targets in Israel, including in the country's largest city, Tel Aviv. The two countries continued to exchange strikes overnight, with Israel hitting Iran's energy infrastructure and what it called sites 'related to the Iranian regime's nuclear weapons project.' Tehran responded by firing more missiles at targets across Israel, including near Haifa and Tel Aviv, killing at least 10 people and wounding around 200 others, according to medics and media

Israeli airstrike claims 60 lives in Tehran apartment block
At least 60 people, including 20 children, have been killed in an Israeli strike on an apartment block in the Iranian capital Tehran, according to local broadcaster IRIB News. The IDF hit multiple targets across Iran on Friday, including uranium enrichment sites, while also killing several senior military commanders and scientists in targeted assassinations. West Jerusalem described the attack as a preemptive measure aimed at stopping Tehran from acquiring a nuclear bomb. Iran, which has repeatedly denied pursuing a military nuclear program, responded by launching multiple volleys of ballistic missiles at targets in Israel, killing at least three people and injuring over 150, according to the Jerusalem Post. IRIB News reported on Saturday that a 14-story residential building in Tehran had been hit by an Israeli missile on Friday morning. The strike took the lives of at least 60 residents of the apartment bloc, which partially collapsed as a result of the strike, have been killed, including 20 children as young as nine months old, the broadcaster said. A total of 38 bodies had been recovered from the rubble so far and search operations are continuing, according to the broadcaster. The IRIB News footage showed heavy machinery being used at the site to clear debris. Iran's ambassador to the UN Amir Iravani told the Security Council that '78 people, including senior military officials, have been martyred and over 320 other injured' in the Israeli strikes on Friday. It is not entirely clear if the fatalities mentioned in the IRIB News report were part of the figure announced by Iravani or if they were additional casualties. Israel resumed its attacks on Iran on Saturday, with Fars news agency reporting explosions in the cities of Khorramabad and Kermanshah in western Iran as well as in the country's East Azerbaijan Province.
