Israel's military confirmed last night's strike on the Isfahan nuclear complex-the ninth straight night of targeted attacks on Iran's nuclear and missile infrastructure-as Tehran flatly rejected any prospect of nuclear diplomacy amid the bombardment. And the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) has also claimed to have assassinated two senior Iranian military commanders.
The wave of assaults follows a massive aerial campaign launched on June 13 involving over 200 Israeli jets hitting Natanz, Fordow, Arak and Isfahan, in what Israeli officials describe as a mission to delay Iran's nuclear programme by up to three years. The raid on Isfahan again reportedly focused on reconversion and uraniumproduction facilities, though international monitors say the radiological risk remains low for now. The IDF also said it had killed Saeed Izadi, commander of the Quds Force's Palestine Corps, and Behanam Shahriari, commander of unit 190 of the Quds Force.
In response, Iran unleashed a missile barrage at Israeli cities-sirens wailed across Tel Aviv, Holon and southern communities-but avert rated no deaths, raising fears of broader escalation.
As global leaders from the UN, EU, Russia and China urge deescalation, US President Trump has confirmed he'll decide within two weeks whether America will enter the fray
