‘Rise, free yourselves from cruel dictators,’ ex-Israeli PM tells Iranians

No damage was observed at Iran’s Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant or the Khondab heavy water reactor, which is still under construction, the UN nuclear watchdog said Saturday.

No further damage has been seen at Natanz since Israeli strikes there on Friday, it added.

Earlier, the agency confirmed that four critical buildings at the Isfahan nuclear site were hit, including a uranium conversion facility and a fuel plate fabrication plant, but reported no change in off-site radiation levels.

“As in Natanz, no increase in off-site radiation expected,” the IAEA said on X.

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.
