Tel Aviv hit by Iranian missiles On Friday, loud warning sirens rang across Israel as Iran launched many ballistic missiles in response to Israel's overnight airstrikes. A few hours later, Iran sent another round of missiles toward Israel. Some of these missiles got past Israel's missile defence system, causing damage and injuries, but the full scope of the destruction is still unclear. In the first attack, Iran fired around 100 missiles in two waves, according to officials. Israel's missile defence system, called the Iron Dome, stopped most of these missiles, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said. However, a few missiles hit buildings due to some failures in the defence system. In the second wave, dozens more missiles were fired, and the IDF reported that while some were stopped, others got through. Videos shared on social media, confirmed by The New York Times, showed a missile hitting an area with several military sites, including the IDF's main command centre. The footage suggests that at least one Iranian missile broke through Israel's air defences and struck an important military site in central Tel Aviv. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Israel carried out large airstrikes on Iran on Friday, targeting Iranian nuclear and military facilities and aiming to eliminate key military leaders. Media reports say the surprise attack killed at least 20 senior Iranian commanders, including the leader of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Six nuclear scientists were also confirmed killed in the strikes.

Iran Vows Decisive Response to Israeli Strikes: 'This Crime Will Be Regretted'
Following a series of pre-dawn Israeli airstrikes that targeted multiple areas across Iran—including residential neighborhoods in Tehran—and resulted in the martyrdom of senior military commanders, scientists, and civilians, the Islamic Republic has vowed a decisive and lawful response, warning that the aggression will be met with force. President Pezeshkian: Iran's Response Will Be Lawful, Decisive, and Regret-Inducing Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has condemned the Israeli enemy's airstrikes on Tehran and other cities as a 'barbaric assault' and vowed a decisive and lawful response that will leave the aggressor to regret its actions. In a message to the Iranian people following the Israeli attack, President Pezeshkian stated that 'the Islamic Republic's legitimate and powerful response will make the enemy regret its folly.' He stressed that neither the Iranian people nor the government will remain silent in the face of this 'blatant crime.' 'Our response will be lawful, strong, and measured—yet sufficient to make the aggressor understand the cost of its actions,' Pezeshkian asserted. #BREAKING Hundreds took to the streets of Isfahan to condemn the recent Israeli aggressions on Iran, demanding severe revenge. — Tehran Times (@TehranTimes79) June 13, 2025 A Criminal Act Revealing the Zionist Regime's True Nature Iran's president described the attack as a gross violation of international law and 'a clear demonstration of the criminal nature of this illegitimate entity,' adding that 'the world now sees what Iran has long warned about: that this regime is rooted in aggression and bloodshed.' While reaffirming Iran's consistent calls for peace and regional stability, Pezeshkian emphasized that Tehran is fully prepared to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity within the framework of international law. 'Iran has always shown readiness for dialogue and building trust. But any assault on our soil will be met with unwavering resolve.' President Pezeshkian concluded by urging the Iranian people to remain united and ignore misinformation spread by the enemy's psychological warfare. In an official statement, the Iranian government declared that it had immediately initiated diplomatic, legal, and defensive measures following the attack. The statement condemned the Israeli enemy's actions as evidence of its 'unrestrained criminality' and described the regime as 'a rogue actor that flouts international norms.' 'The overnight aggression by the Zionist regime proves it is a lawless entity. It assassinates openly, in broad daylight, before the eyes of the world,' the statement read. The government warned that initiating war with Iran would be 'playing with fire,' especially while diplomatic negotiations on Iran's nuclear file were ongoing. The timing of the attack, it said, revealed Israel's fear of Iran's growing global influence and ability to defend its position through diplomacy and deterrence. 'Iran's right to retaliate and defend its sovereignty is indisputable. Vengeance for our martyrs is certain. Violating Iranian territory is an unforgivable crime.' 'The world will know: we did not start this war—but how it ends will be written by Iran,' the statement concluded. Iran's Foreign Ministry also issued a strongly worded statement, holding the Israeli enemy and its main supporter, the United States, fully responsible for the consequences of what it called an act of aggression in violation of the UN Charter. 'This is a clear breach of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter and a blatant act of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran,' the ministry said. 'Under Article 51, Iran has the inherent right to self-defense and will exercise it with full strength, in a manner and time of its choosing.' The statement also underlined that such an operation could not have been conducted without US coordination or approval. 'The United States, as the principal supporter of this regime, must bear responsibility for the dangerous consequences of this reckless adventure.' In protest, Iran summoned the Swiss ambassador in Tehran, who represents US interests in the absence of formal diplomatic ties, demanding accountability for Washington's complicity in the Israeli assault. IRGC Commander: 'The Gates of Hell Will Soon Open on Criminal Entity' Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour, the newly appointed commander of the IRGC, sent a message to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, pledging unwavering commitment to defend the Islamic Republic and avenge the blood of the martyrs. #BREAKING Ayatollah Khamenei appoints Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour as new IRGC Chief Commander — Tehran Times (@TehranTimes79) June 13, 2025 'This criminal act by the Zionist regime against Iran's national security and territorial integrity will not go unanswered,' Pakpour said. 'Under your wise leadership and with the courage of our armed forces, this regime will face a painful and dark destiny. With faith in God and the will to fulfill the promise of the Imam, the gates of hell will soon open on this murderous regime,' Brigadier General Pakpour concluded.

Principle of Enrichment in Iran Non-Negotiable: Iran's Araqchi
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stressed on Wednesday Tehran will by no means negotiate over the principle of uranium enrichment, although it is ready to allay the possible concerns. Asked about the comments on Iran's right to uranium enrichment amid the nuclear talks with the US, Araqchi said: 'Enrichment in Iran is an actual and real fact. We are prepared to build trust about the possible concerns, but the principle of enrichment is non-negotiable.' He also reminded the US that nothing would be gained under pressures, while negotiations coupled with respect could make progress, Iranian media reported. Deploring the contradictory American stances which are not helpful for the process of talks, Araqchi said if the US adopts constructive stances, there will be hopes that negotiations will begin on the framework of a tentative agreement. Araqchi on Witkoff's contradictory positions: If the Americans present constructive positions in the negotiations, I hope we can start negotiating the framework of a possible agreement. However, if America's positions continue to be contradictory, we will run into problems. #Iran — IranView24 (@IranView24) April 16, 2025 The top Iranian diplomat also noted that he is going to travel to Russia to relay a written message from Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei to Russian President Vladimir Putin. FM @araghchi: The purpose of the trip to Russia is to deliver a written message from the Leader of Islamic Revolution to President Putin. — Tehran Times (@TehranTimes79) April 16, 2025 Delegations from Iran and the US held a round of indirect talks in Muscat on April 12, mediated by the foreign minister of Oman. The two sides, led by Araqchi and the US president's special envoy Steve Witkoff, have expressed satisfaction with the initial steps. The next round of negotiations is scheduled for April 19.
