UN nuclear watchdog says no damage seen at Iran’s Fordow or Khondab sites

An Iranian ballistic missile struck a residential building in the northern Israeli city of Tamra on Saturday night, killing one woman and injuring 13 others, according to Hebrew media.

The two-story home, located east of Haifa, was directly hit during a new wave of missile fire launched from Iran.

Earlier, the Israeli military confirmed that several missiles had been fired from Iranian territory. Channel 13 reported that one person was critically wounded and five others lightly hurt in western Galilee before the Tamra strike.

According to Walla News, Iran launched between 40 and 45 missiles in the initial barrage. Missiles were also sighted over Jerusalem, with reports of explosions in other northern cities including Haifa.

Gasoline and oil depots in western Tehran have been targeted in Israeli airstrikes, videos obtained by Iran International show.

Electricity has been cut in Tehran’s Shahran neighborhood after Israeli airstrikes targeted the depots in the western part of the city.

Videos shared on social media show a massive fire at the facility.

The United States is not a party to the military conflict with Iran and must be distinguished from the Israelis, Iran’s deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi said Saturday.

“If Israeli attacks end, there is a possibility of returning to the negotiating table,” he added.

Gharibabadi said no one has the right to demand restraint from Iran.

“Have we ever attacked the United States or assassinated anyone there? Then why are there so many American military bases surrounding Iran?”

He defended Iran's missile attacks on Israel and said, “Our attack on Israel was a legitimate act of self-defense and fully legal.”

The Israeli army’s Persian-language spokesperson said the country's military has "targeted over 150 positions across various parts of Iran."

The spokesperson added that dozens of ready-to-launch missiles had been stored in underground facilities at Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport.

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin held a 50-minute call on Saturday focused on the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, after Oman's foreign minister announced the sixth round of Tehran-Washington talks will not take place.

“Putin condemned Israel's military operation against Iran and expressed serious concern about a possible escalation of the conflict, which would have unpredictable consequences for the entire situation in the Middle East,” Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said Saturday.

Trump said that his special envoy Steve Witkoff was ready to resume nuclear talks with Iran's foreign minister, according to the Russian president's foreign policy adviser.

“While there will be no meeting Sunday, we remain committed to talks and hope the Iranians will come to the table soon,” Axios quoted a US official as saying.

However, Pezeshkian told French President Emmanuel Macron in a phone call, “The Islamic Republic will not sit at the negotiating table under pressure, irrational demands, double standards—or during continued Israeli aggression."

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas on Saturday that continued Israeli attacks—and US support for them—made talks “unjustifiable.”

Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei also said Israel's strikes had “rendered diplomacy meaningless.”

Yet behind the scenes, there may still be movement. Despite Iran’s hard public line, two Western diplomats told Axios that Araghchi privately indicated Tehran could return to talks once it concludes its military response to Israel’s strikes.
