Explosions and air defense activity reported across Tehran

The Israeli military has confirmed a strike on a nuclear facility in Isfahan.

Israel will attack Iran’s nuclear project from every direction and will not allow the Islamic Republic to rise again, a spokesperson said Sunday.

Air defense systems were activated in several areas of Tehran on Sunday, according to local reports.

A video is being shared on X showing what appears to be a building in eastern Tehran being struck.

No official confirmation or casualty figures have yet been released.

Israel still has a long list of targets in Iran it has yet to strike, a military official said Sunday.

The remark comes as Israel’s air campaign against the Islamic Republic continues.

The Israeli army reported that since Friday, it has carried out approximately 170 airstrikes, hitting 720 sites across Iran.

Meanwhile, Israel’s Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee is set to hold a closed-door session Monday to review classified intelligence on the ongoing conflict.

The UK’s deployment of additional jets to the Middle East was primarily to protect British personnel and bases, but left open the possibility of supporting Israel in its war with Iran, British finance minister Rachel Reeves said Sunday.

Speaking to Sky News, Reeves called the move a “precautionary” step, adding, “We’re sending in assets to both protect ourselves and also potentially to support our allies.”

Asked if the UK would aid Israel if requested, she said, “We have, in the past, supported Israel when there have been missiles coming in.”

Steven Witkoff, Donald Trump’s special envoy, established direct contact with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Saturday night, CNN reported citing an informed source.

While Iranian officials continue to hold the US responsible for Israel’s attacks and say they are not ready to resume talks, efforts to revive diplomacy are underway.

A new round of negotiations had been scheduled for Sunday but was canceled. Germany has now expressed readiness to begin urgent nuclear talks with Iran, in coordination with Britain and France, aiming to de-escalate the regional crisis.
