Israel launches intense airstrikes in Tehran, at least 585 killled so far

Intense Israeli airstrikes targeted Iran's capital early Wednesday in a conflict that a human rights group said had killed at least 585 people across Iran and wounded 1,326 others. The Washington-based group Human Rights Activists said it had identified 239 of those killed in Israeli strikes as civilians and 126 as security personnel. The group, which also provided detailed casualty figures during the 2022 protests over the death of Mahsa Amini, crosschecks local reports in the Islamic Republic against a network of sources it has developed in the country. Iran has not been publishing regular death tolls during the conflict and has minimized casualties in the past. Its last update, issued Monday, put the death toll at 224 people killed and 1,277 others wounded. Uncertainty roiled the region and residents of Tehran fled their homes in droves on the sixth day of Israel's air campaign aimed at Iran's military and nuclear programme. Israel asserts it had to launch its airstrike campaig

Trump in dilemma as Israel seeks more US help to crush Iran's nuclear prog

President Donald Trump in about eight hours Monday went from suggesting a nuclear deal with Iran remained achievable to urging Tehran's 9.5 million residents to flee for their lives as he cut short his visit to an international summit to return to Washington for urgent talks with his national security team. He was expected to arrive at the White House early Tuesday at a moment of choosing in his presidency. Israel, with four days of missile strikes, has done considerable damage to Iran and believes it can now deal a permanent blow to Tehran's nuclear programme particularly if it gets a little more help from Trump. But deepening American involvement, perhaps by providing the Israelis with bunker-busting bombs to penetrate Iranian nuclear sites built deep underground or offering other direct US military support, comes with enormous political risk for Trump. He appears to be gradually building the public case for more direct American involvement. Iran should have signed the deal' I t

Israeli missile hits Iranian state-run television HQ; broadcast halted

Iran's state-run news agency reported Monday that state-run television abruptly stopped a live broadcast after an Israeli strike. During the broadcast, an Iranian state television reporter said the studio was filling with dust after the sound of aggression against the homeland. Suddenly, an explosion occurred, cutting the screen behind her as she hurried off camera. The broadcast quickly switched to prerecorded programmes. An hour earlier, Israel had issued a warning the evacuate the area of Iran's capital where the TV studios are located.

Netanyahu calls Israel's attack on Iran 'very successful opening strike'

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday described Israel's attack targeting Iran's nuclear installations and senior commanders as "a very successful opening strike". Israel on Friday launched Operation Rising Lion to strike at Iran's nuclear, missile and military complex. The strikes left key military commanders and nuclear scientists dead. "We are after a very successful opening strike. With God's help, we are going to have many more achievements," Netanyahu said. Earlier Netanyahu said Israel struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear enrichment programme. "We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear weaponisation programme. We targeted Iran's main enrichment facility in Natanz. We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working on the Iranian bomb. We also struck at the heart of Iran's ballistic missile programme," Netanyahu claimed. He dubbed Iranian nuclear and missile programmes an "existential threat". Israeli and Iranian sources confirmed heavy damages to Iran's aerial def

Israeli strikes on Iran new test of Trump's 'America first' agenda

Just hours before Israel launched strikes on Iran early Friday, President Donald Trump was still holding onto tattered threads of hope that a long-simmering dispute over Tehran's nuclear programme could be resolved without military action. But with the Israeli military operation called Rising Lion now underway something Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says will go on for as many days as it takes Trump will be tested anew on his ability to make good on a campaign promise to disentangle the US from foreign conflicts. The administration's immediate reaction to the Israeli assault came not from Trump, but from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is doubling as Trump's national security adviser. He made clear that the US was not involved and that the administration's central concern was protecting US forces in the region. Israel advised us that they believe this action was necessary for its self-defence, Rubio said in a statement. "President Trump and the Administration have
