Iran and Russia are coordinating their positions, Iranian foreign minister says

The Israeli military said Monday it had struck surface-to-surface missile launch and storage sites in western Iran.

“More than 15 Israeli Air Force fighter jets recently carried out precision intelligence-guided strikes, directed by Military Intelligence, in the Kermanshah area of Iran, destroying several surface-to-surface missile launch and storage sites that were aimed at the territory of the State of Israel,” the military said in a statement.

The military also said it attacked six Iranian airports in western, eastern, and central Iran.

Commander-in-Chief of Iran’s Army, Major General Amir Hatami, on Monday warned the United States that it would receive a decisive response if it committed further "crimes."

"Americans have received a decisive response every time they have committed crimes, and it will be the same this time," Hatami said, adding that the US was the "main perpetrator" of recent aggressions.

The United States' direct involvement in the conflict expands the range of legitimate targets for the Iranian armed forces, Iran’s military central command spokesperson said on Monday.

Addressing US President Donald Trump directly, Ebrahim Zolfaghari said in English: “Gambler Trump, you can start this war but we will be the ones who end it.”

Iranian authorities executed a young man named Mohammad-Amin Mahdavi-Shayesteh for alleged espionage on behalf of Israel on Monday morning, the judiciary's news outlet reported.

The deceased, 26, was arrested in 2023.

"According to case documents, he was the ringleader of a cyber network linked to Mossad and had knowingly cooperated with the Zionist regime’s intelligence," the judiciary said.

The judiciary also accused him of having “close ties” with Iran International TV.

Iran International denies the judiciary’s claim that the individual in question is connected to this network.

The independent NGO Iran Human Rights reported last year that the charges against him included “insulting Islamic sanctities” and “collaborating with the enemy.”

It added that the death sentence was issued following confessions obtained under torture.

Hawkish Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz lashed out at the United Nations for criticizing a US strike on Iran on Sunday, saying it had sided with Tehran.
