Vance says Iran renewed chance to pursue 'path of peace' after US attack

Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said Sunday that America does not seek war with Iran in the aftermath of a surprise attack overnight on three of that country's nuclear sites while Vice President JD Vance said the strikes have given Tehran a renewed chance of negotiating with Washington. The mission, called Operation Midnight Hammer, involved decoys and deception, and met with no Iranian resistance, Hegseth and Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a Pentagon news conference. This mission was not and has not been about regime change, Hegseth added. Caine said the goal of the operation destroying nuclear sites in Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan had been achieved. Final battle damage will take some time, but initial battle damage assessments indicate that all three sites sustained extremely severe damage and destruction, Caine said. Vance said in a television interview that while he would not discuss sensitive intelligence about what we've seen on the ..

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.

Putin has no plans to talk to Trump after US strikes on Iran: Kremlin

Russian President Vladimir Putin has no immediate plans to dial his US counterpart Donald Trump after the US bombardment of Iranian nuclear facilities, the Kremlin said on Sunday. There are no such plans, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. However, he added that a call can be quickly arranged in case of need.

Meanwhile, Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard said it launched 40 missiles, including its Khorramshahr-4, during the attack on Israel on Sunday morning.
