Tensions between Iran and Israel surged Saturday as both sides exchanged fresh attacks. Iran reported Israeli strikes on the Isfahan nuclear facility and a building in Qom, killing a teenager. Israel confirmed targeting Iranian missile infrastructure, while air raid sirens sounded across central and southern Israel. Five Iranian ballistic missiles were reportedly launched, but no direct impacts or Israeli casualties were confirmed.

Hostilities reignited on June 13, when Israel accused Iran of nearing nuclear weapons capability. Iran insists its program is peaceful. Israeli strikes have killed 639 in Iran, including top military and nuclear figures, while 24 Israeli civilians have died in Iranian attacks, though these figures remain unverified.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran could obtain a nuclear weapon within weeks and criticized Israeli restraint, hinting at possible U.S. intervention. Iran’s foreign minister rejected talks with the U.S. amid Israeli attacks but met European leaders in Geneva, where diplomacy showed little progress.

While Europe urges continued dialogue, Iran prefers direct talks with the U.S. Hundreds of Americans have fled Iran. At the UN, Israel vowed to continue its strikes, while Iran called for international intervention. Russia and China demanded immediate de-escalation. Iran signaled willingness to discuss uranium limits but rejected a full enrichment ban under Israeli pressure.
