Foreign Minister Penny Wong has joined demands for Iran to stop its nuclear weapons program and come to the negotiating table within the two-week deadline set by US President Donald Trump on Friday as he decides whether to join Israel’s strikes on the country.

But as the Israel-Iran war entered its second week, more than 60 Israeli warplanes struck targets in Iran on Friday, including what Israel said were industrial sites used to produce missiles.

Israel said it had also hit the headquarters of Iran’s Organisation of Defensive Innovation and Research, which the US had previously linked to the possible development of nuclear weapons.

Meanwhile, Iran condemned Israel’s strike on its Arak heavy-water reactor on Thursday, describing it as a violation of international protocols designed to protect nuclear sites.

“Any military attack on nuclear facilities is an assault on the entire IAEA safeguards regime and ultimately the NPT,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Sayyid Abbas Araghchi posted on X.

In Israel, the emergency service said seven people suffered minor injuries when Iranian missiles hit a residential area in the south, causing damage to buildings.

Separately, Israel accused Iran of deliberately targeting civilians with cluster munitions, which disperse small bombs over a wide area.

And Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz warned Lebanon’s Hezbollah to exercise caution, saying Israel’s patience with “terrorists” who threaten it had worn thin.
