Now the world must ensure Iran is never a nuclear threat again, he said.

Iran launches more than 40 missiles toward Israel, 23 people injured

Hours after the US struck three Iranian nuclear sites, Iran launched more than 40 missiles toward Israel on Sunday, wounding 23 people and destroying apartment buildings and homes in three cities. At an impact site in Tel Aviv, the blast had sheared off the face of a multistory residential building and damaged several others including a nursing home in a radius of hundreds of metres. But few people were wounded, as many residents had been evacuated and others made it to bomb shelters. Deputy Mayor Haim Goren, who assisted at the scene, said it was nevertheless "miraculous" that more people were not hurt. Relatives and health aides helped residents many with wheelchairs or walkers to leave the nursing home, where windows were blown out up to the top on the 11th floor. It's like a typhoon came through my apartment, said Ofer Berger, who lives near the impact site on the seventh floor of a high-rise. All of the apartments in this area are destroyed, he said.

Now, by completing the chain of violations and crimes committed by the Zionist regime, the US has itself launched a dangerous war against Iran. It added: The Islamic Republic of Iran reserves its right to resist with full force against US military aggression and the crimes committed by this rogue regime, and to defend Iran's security and national interests. Earlier, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who posted on the social platform X, was the first ranking official to comment on the strikes on Isfahan, Fordo and Natanz by the ...
