IDF: US strikes are 'a crucial step' in stopping Iranian aggression

An Israeli military spokesman welcomed the US airstrikes on Iran, carried out overnight, as an essential measure to limit Iranian influence and hostility in the region.

Brigadier General Effie Defrin, of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), said on national television:

"The Iranian regime is responsible for the war that has been raging for over 600 days. From Gaza to Lebanon, from Yemen to Tehran, the Iranian regime has spent years fueling terrorism across the region."

He added that now, the consequences of Tehran's actions are being felt right on Iranian soil.

Commenting on the US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, Defrin said:

"These actions mark a crucial step in stopping the Iranian regime's aggression and its ability to endanger the region and the entire world."

"The regime's ability to threaten the State of Israel is being dismantled piece by piece," he concluded.

Araghchi:"We never trusted the West, and now we have even less"

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed a deep lack of trust in Western countries at a press conference in Istanbul, saying his skepticism had grown even more following recent events, according to Sky News.

"We never trusted Western countries during the negotiations, and now we have even more reasons not to trust them at all," Araghchi said.

He warned that no diplomatic steps should be taken before Iran responds to the recent US-led attacks.

Indirect contact with the US continues

Responding to a question about communication with the United States, Araghchi confirmed that indirect talks had taken place with Donald Trump's chief negotiator, Steve Witkoff, before the strikes.

"Although negotiations have been halted due to American aggression, we continue to receive messages from the Americans through various channels, especially through Oman," he said.

Oman has frequently acted as a mediator in previous exchanges between Tehran and Washington.

The press conference in Istanbul has ended.

Asked by Al Jazeera at a press conference what conditions would be necessary for Tehran to return to the negotiating table, Araghchi replied that"there is no red line that the US has not crossed."

Referring to last Friday's attacks, he explained:"It is irrelevant to ask Iran to return to diplomacy, because we were already engaged in diplomatic talks with the United States when Israel decided to sabotage the process."

He added: "Just two days ago, we were in negotiations with European officials in Geneva and then the Americans decided to destroy that effort as well. So, we were engaged in diplomacy. But despite that, we were attacked."

Araghchi mentioned that just the day before he met with the E3 group (the foreign ministers of Great Britain, France and Germany) as well as the EU foreign policy chief.

"The United States, dissatisfied with previous hostile measures, has now chosen to launch a dangerous military attack against the Iranian people," he said.

"Therefore, the US government bears full responsibility for the consequences of this action, including Iran's legitimate right to self-defense," Araghchi added.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has harshly criticized recent US attacks and accused US President Donald Trump of deceiving his own supporters, according to Sky News.

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said that US President Donald Trump has started a new war for the US by attacking Iran.

US attack on Iran influenced by lessons of North Korea stagnation, expert says

Donald Trump's decision to order strikes on Iran may be influenced by the US's experience with North Korea's nuclear program, according to expert Jared Mondschein.

Speaking to Sky News, Mondschein, research director at the United States Studies Centre, explained that the US has consistently argued that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon. But the case of North Korea had a different outcome.

He said: “The George W. Bush administration declared a nuclear North Korea unacceptable, but ultimately decided it was not in their interest to prevent it, resulting in a situation of regional deadlock.”

Mondschein noted that, unlike North Korea, Iran is an expansionist power with proxy militias in the region, posing a threat to the security of the US and Israel.

He added: “We must not forget the large number of Americans, military and civilian, who have been targeted by Iran and its proxies.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Responds to UK:"How Can Iran Return to Something It Never Left?"

This week, we had discussions with E3/EU when the US decided to destroy that diplomacy. What conclusion would you draw?

"For the UK and the EU High Representative, Iran must 'return' to the negotiating table. But how could Iran to something it never left or destroyed?"

European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas urged all sides on Sunday to step back and return to the negotiating table after US forces struck three Iranian nuclear sites.

US drops 12 bunker buster bombs on Fordow nuclear facility

According to an American report, during the night the United States dropped 12 bunker buster bombs on the Fordow nuclear site.

The New York Times reported that six B-2 bombers carried out the attack, dropping bombs on the heavily fortified facility.

In addition, US Navy submarines reportedly launched 30 cruise missiles that targeted the nuclear sites at Natanz and Isfahan, two other critical points.

A B-2 bomber also reportedly dropped two bunker buster bombs on Natanz, according to an official quoted by the New York Times.

These strikes are considered the result of years of careful planning.

Since Israel began its wave of attacks on Iran, it has stated that its primary goal is to weaken Iran's nuclear infrastructure.

Now, with US involvement, this goal has broader support.

Israel's first strikes targeted Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz, sites essential for uranium enrichment in Iran's nuclear program.

Fordow is built into a mountain slope, making it largely resistant to conventional Israeli ammunition.

That is why US bunker buster bombs, capable of penetrating deep underground, were considered essential in this operation.
